A friend loves at all times and a brother is born for a time of adversity. Proverbs 17:17
Living in community is not an easy task at times. The book of Proverbs, Biblical Wisdom Literature, is a guide to constructive cohabitation, as a family and a citizen of planet earth.
If you need to reference love, reread I Corinthians 13:4-7 and in this context, remember, Jesus is the perfect model of love and friendship is the standard for relationship. True friendship is not predicated on circumstances, but on a higher purpose and character. God created a humanity that cannot survive alone, but is also instructed to exist in healthy connections. No matter what your mental smack talk suggests, you need others and others need you.
Love,
