SCRIPTURE
2 Timothy 4:9-18 and Proverbs 17: 17
What is a true friend, a brother in time of need? A friend loves at all times, and a brother born for adversity, a helper in time of need. That person stands by you. A true friend is reliable, trustworthy, loyal especially in your difficult times.
The apostle Paul wrote to his dear friend, Timothy, who was also a missionary with him. Paul wrote it from prison` in his last days before execution in Rome. Most of his friends, but one abandoned him . This true friend was Luke. Luke never left Paul to face death alone. I'm almost crying thinking of this!
What kind of friend are you? Proverbs tells us a friend loves at all times. In adversity we need friends you can rely on. Be that kind of friend.
LESSON
A true friend stands by us always. Also this refers to Jesus as that true friend. 💕
