Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for
adversity." (Proverbs 17:17)

Reflection:

Friendship is very important to me.  My life would
not be complete without my friends.  I have all kinds
of friends, I have friends who are Christians, An Atheist
who always states "I swear to God I'm an Atheist," a
close friend who is a Muslim. I have friends of all colors,
creeds, and nationalities.  I don't expect my friends to
love me, adore me, or even agree with me. I do expect
from myself and from them, one very important
characteristic, and thats loyalty.  My friends are all
deeply loyal and I am loyal to them.  So the question
remains to be asked, "What Kind of friend are you?"
Are you like the friends of Job: Eliphaz, Bildad, and
Zophar who were disloyal and even intensified Job's
pain.  Or are you like the friends of Daniel: Shadrach,
Meshach, Abed-Nego who were loyal to Daniel,
and stood with him. Remember very important thing,
you and I share one friend.  This friend was so loyal to
you and I, that He gave His life for us.  That friend
is Jesus Christ.

Prayer:
