I know I have already done a post on friendship before, but this topic is important to me. In the Bible, Abram and Lot were relatives but they were also friends. In Genesis 14: 14- 16 says, "When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan. During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. He recovered all the goods and bought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people." Abram didn't wait for someone to go save is friend, but instead he went to save him himself. Abram also risked his life going in to fight for his friend. I feel that many people say that they are friends but when you need them the most, they abandon you. A true friend will stay with you and help you in your time of need, and they will risk every thing to help you.
