A Friend Loves at All Times
On the Adversity That Reveals True Brotherhood
Anchored in Proverbs 17:17, this reflection examines what adversity uncovers about the people around us — and about ourselves. Drawing on the Davidic laments, the witnesses of Job, Joseph, the disciples, Jonathan, Ruth, Peter, and Mark, it sets out the three patterns trouble reveals: those who withdraw, those who add to the burden, and those who fail and are restored — calling the reader, in the end, to extend the same mercy God has extended to us.
