I have a friend who
has stuck by me from the very beginning of my life. In fact, he was there even
before I was born. (Psalm 139:13-16)
This friend is always for me, always on my side. He does constant battle
with my biggest Enemy on my behalf. (James 4:7, 8, 10)
He prays for me fervently, each time I ask, and even when I don't. And he has direct access to
God! (Hebrews 4:14-16)
He loves me in spite of my sins and failures. When I have a bad day, he's
there gently encouraging me. When I have a good day, he's there cheering me on. (Romans 8:37)
I have a friend who has promised to never leave me, no matter what
happens. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
This friend carries me when I can't seem to take another step. (1 Peter 5:7)
He sings over me and delights in me! (Zephaniah 3:17, Psalm 18:19)
Do you know my friend? His name is Jesus, and He is the ultimate friend!
He willingly gave his life so that I could be redeemed of my sins and enjoy eternal life
in heaven with him.
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for his friends." John 15:13
What a friend we have in Jesus!
