What are some characteristics of a true friend?

A true friend stands with you in times of trouble (Pro.17:17) A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. He that is a friend loveth at all times: and a brother is proved in distress. – Darby

2. A true friend will tell you what you need to hear not what you want to hear (Pro. 27: 5 – 6) An open rebuke is better than hidden love! Wounds from a friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. - NLT

3. A true friend will clash with you at times for your personal improvement (Pro. 27: 17) As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

4. A true friend is loyal at all times (Pro. 11:13, 17:17, 18:24 NLT) A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret (Pro. 11:13, NIV)

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Pro There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. Pro. 18:24 NLT

5. A true friendship can be destroyed by slander, whispering and not keeping confidences (Pro 16:28; 17:9) A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates the best of friends. Pro. 16:28

He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends Pro. 17:9

Friendships must be desired Friendships must be pursued Friendships have to be built Friendships take time to build Friendships will be tested Friendships must be maintained Friendships are to be enjoyed
