The Gift of Friendship
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.—Proverbs 17:17 (NIV)
As November draws to a close, know that God’s glory is all around you. He created you to be joyful and fully alive. Joy doesn’t come from an easy life, but rather from facing and overcoming life’s challenges. Joy comes from trusting and praising God in every situation.
Heavenly Father, guide me to make the most of every day and every situation. Guide me to true joy!
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.—Proverbs 17:17 (NIV)

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.—Isaiah 1:17 (NIV)
