True friendship is marked by a love that endures through all of life’s circumstances from the best of times to the worst of times. And while a friend loves always, that love is demonstrated in all kinds of ways. Sometimes it comforts. Sometimes it corrects. Sometimes it cheers. At all times, a friend imperfectly loves in whatever way fits the occasion and points to the perfect love of our greatest friend, Jesus. He knows what is best for us, wants what is best for us and does what is best for us. We rely on Him to pass on what we receive from Him to the people in our lives. Our love to others flows from His love to us.
