Abreast

~Friday for Friends~

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.Proverbs 18:24 (NIV)

Continuing the Friday for Friends post series, we have the word "abreast", which means "side by side". (Webster's dictionary, 1993)

Friends usually do a lot of fun things together. It's unique, interesting, refreshing. It's something we enjoy doing.

But being friends means sticking with each other even when the going is rough. When you'd rather be doing something else or when you're  just tired. It means 'being there' for each other - 24/7. Well, not really, but as much as you can.

The best Friend of all is, of course, Jesus.
He is really with us 24/7 and He'll always be there for us.

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Mathew 28:20
