Yesterday reminded us how our friends in Christ are more like brothers. Today Proverb 17 reminds us that our friendship in Christ is even closer than a brother.

Think about that:

Closer than a brother…MORE than family!

The example we have from Christ of the kind of friend HE is, should be our imitation for the kind of friend WE want to be.

Christ is always there to:

• Console us
• Correct us
• Counsel us
• Cheer us

Which is exactly the kind of friendship we should seek to give, and desire to have.

So let us carry ourselves with confidence, always having an assurance that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is closer to us with a love deeper than any fried or brother we have ever had or been.

And let us do what we can to also BE that kind of friend.

I love you guys!
