Prov 17:17 A friend loveth AT ALL TIMES, and a brother is born for adversity.
Isn't that a good verse with lots of integrity. This love is not an emotional love that changes through various moods and mental blocks because of the adversity that a brother may go through or be subject to in the details of life through the plan of God. It is a love that is born for ADVERSITY and that love abides in the heart. It is not a love that writes people off because they have been insulted or reacted to the words of another in the flesh, that's what carnal believers do because of strife and contentions. The love of God is not that way because it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things because it is kind and long suffering and never thinks evil (1Cor 13:4-7).
