True, genuine friendship',

Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR

---

"A friend loves at all times." Proverbs 17:17

You cannot force a half-hearted friendship into life. 
Where there is incongruity of character, feeling, and 
ways, let it simply lapse into acquaintanceship; and 
if even this be an effort, let it, without either violence 
or discourtesy, die a natural death. 

True, genuine friendship must not only be spontaneous, 
but, to be lasting, it must be based on congeniality of 
tastes, pursuits, interests, as well as on affection.

"There is a Friend who sticks closer than a brother." 
Proverbs 18:24
