Brothers Make the Journey Better
Day 171 of 365 • FRIENDS
“Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.”
— Proverbs 27:9 (ESV)
Proverb Truth
The older I get, the more I appreciate simple things. Good conversations. Shared laughter. Memories. Stories. Friendships that have stood the test of time.
Because life is difficult enough by itself. And somehow, burdens become lighter and joys become greater when they’re shared.
Perhaps that’s what Solomon meant when he described the sweetness of a friend. Because friendship brings joy. And joy, shared with others, somehow multiplies.
Jesus in Action
Jesus didn’t simply save people. He shared life with them. He ate with them. Walked with them. Celebrated with them. Because life was never meant to be lived alone.
Forged Wisdom
Epictetus wrote: “Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.” Part of knowing who we are is remembering that God designed us for relationships.
The No Limits Challenge
Call a friend today. Not because you need something. Just because you’re grateful.
Prayer
Father, thank You for the brothers You’ve placed in my life. Help me treasure those relationships. Amen.
