What does it say?
A true friend loves at all times. A cheerful heart is like medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
What does it mean?
Several verses in this passage read like a recipe for friendship: staying close when times are tough, avoiding arguments, and being truthful. When all of these ingredients are present in a relationship, it serves to bring hope and optimism, which are beneficial to the body as well as the mind and spirit. Healthy relationships aren’t built on deceit or characterized by constant fighting.
How should I respond?
What traits do you look for at the onset of a friendship? No doubt, the characteristics mentioned in today’s passage should be important to all of us. Think about your closest relationships. Are they based on truthfulness and mutual encouragement? Carefully examine any relationship that is marked with constant strife. Ask God to help you love that person the way that He does. That kind of love chooses to stand by a friend when others choose to walk away. What friend or family member do you need to contact today? Your voice or presence may be just the medicine that person’s heart needs.
