“A friend loveth at all times” (Proverbs 17:17).

A powerful commercial shows the wrecked car and sobbing people at a funeral. The simple words appear, “True friends do not let friends drink and drive.” It is a very powerful and thought-provoking commercial. The point of the statement is that friends who really love their friends will want the best for their friends. The Lord Jesus spoke of the sacrifice a person should be willing to make for friends. He said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). That was spoken the night before He died on the cross for our sins. What an awesome love the Lord Jesus has for His people. He truly is the amazing Savior and Lord as well as a precious Friend Who loves at all times. May I be as loving and friendly.

For today: How will your love as a friend be demonstrated today?
