Love Is the Bond that Connects Us

A friend loves at all times when he won’t abandon you because things get uncomfortable or even dangerous. The same way a brother is born for adversity, in that a brother will not abandon his brother in the mist of adversity because they’re brothers, there’s a strong natural bond between them. A friend that loves, will behave the same way during adversity because of his agape love for you. Love is the bond between brothers, and it is the bond that ties a friend the same way as brothers are more naturally linked by nature. A brother is born for a time of adversity because he goes through the same trouble with his brother while standing with him. Experiencing all the drama, and stress of adversity with him, is the strength of love. We must love at all times keeping ourselves in the ready position to receive from the Lord. Our faith works by love (Galatians 5:6) and without faith we can do nothing of significant and lasting value. Since the love of Christ was placed in our hearts at the new birth (Romans 5:5), we can love our brothers and sisters in Christ better than the natural bond of two brothers.
