loyalty

Prov 18:24 Some friends bring ruin on us, but a true friend is more loyal than a brother.

You will meet many people during your lifetime. Only a few will be loyal to you. Never let those few go. I will always be loyal to you. Always. How will you know loyalty when you see it? For one thing, loyalty is forever developing and proving itself. Words alone are not proof of loyalty. Some people lie about being loyal. But for the most part people just don't understand what a commitment loyalty is. Will this friend stand by you even when you don't chose the most popular path? Defend you when others say unkind things? Will they believe your word over others? Of course you need to prove that you deserve their loyalty. Let your word always be true. Your actions always be kind. And your friendship pure. God will bless you with true and loyal friends if you seek them, nurture them and cherish them.
