Job 6:14RSV "He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty."
There are many relationships in this world dignified by the name of friendship which really do not deserve it.
The true office of friendship is to enter fully into the circumstances of the friend; not to be indifferent to them and therefore ignorant.
True affection will inquire gently, wisely, and with care into the situation, and the need, and the sorrow, and hopes of the object of its attachment. Not for nosy curiosity, but from loving interest the friend's heart will open to take in the tale of sorrow, even the words of complaint.
It is a duty one friend owes to another to show the utmost compassion of spirit.
THE FIRST VALUE OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP IS THAT IT WILL GIVE SUPPORT IN WEAKNESS, UNDERSTANDING AMID EVIL REPORTS, CONSOLATION IN SORROW, AND HELP IN THE BEARING OF BURDENS; AND IT IS NOT FRIENDSHIP WHEN IT BREAKS DOWN UNDER SUCH DEMANDS. ADVERSITY BRINGS HIM FORTH FOR CRISIS TESTS A FRIEND AS FIRE THE GOLD.
Be the friend that is committed, loyal, selfless and faithful. Glory!
Check: Pro. 17:17; 18:24; 27:6, Luke 11:5-8
