crisis friends

Have you heard of fair-weather friends? Perhaps you have heard that in times of crisis you find out who your friends are, and have experienced this first hand. Many friendships revolve around a common interest and do not grow into genuine love. People change and grow, and if the friendship isn’t built with enough flexibility to allow this it will wither and die. Weak friendships are only built for pleasant times but real friends will see you through a crisis and it is valuable to know who they are. I called my devout followers friends rather than servants and this applies to you too. Do you understand that I will see you through any crisis and change?
