We are guaranteed hardships in our Christian lives. Friends will hurt and betray us—it happened to Jesus and Paul! We need to have spiritual maturity during trials. Obstacles in life don't mean God has abandoned us. He will always walk through the hard times with us, and He provides earthly friends to support us, too. Thank the Lord for His faithfulness and for godly friends!
