Proverbs 18:24 The man of many friends [a friend of all the world] will prove himself a bad friend, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

We are called to love others showing them godly love even when they wrong us (John 13:34). But in doing good to others, we must retain our focus on pleasing God first (Exodus 20:3).

Some people want to be friends with everyone and disliked by none so much that they may intentionally lie to others to “spare their feelings” (Deut 5:20), or refuse to save their brother by lovingly telling them the truth about themselves (Matthew 18:15), or join into sinful activities (Galations 6:1).

But remember, there is a friend who is real, loving, and has our backs more than any other being and no person or thing should ever dissuade us from honoring Him above all else (Joshua 24:15).
