A Friend Who is Closer than a Brother
Something I’ve tried to teach my son about friends is it is better to have one or two good friends who know all the good and bad and still want to be with you than to have a bunch of friends who are fair-weathered. Friends who will encourage us to be the best we can be and are willing to give of themselves in the relationship.
My Friend is just that and more. God gave Jesus to die on the cross and bear my sin debt so I could spend eternity in Heaven with him. Jesus loves me just as I am even in my unlovable moments. He is loyal, accepting, sacrificial, and available. Anytime I need Him, I can call on Him and He will hear.
Today, I’m thankful for my Friend who sticketh closer than a brother. Do you know my Jesus?
Amen a 1000x! What a wonderful Savior and friend.

ReplyDeleteAmen Lori! I am so humbled and beyond thankful when I think of myself as a friend of Jesus! I love what you are teaching your son. My best friend loves the Lord and he is always there for me. I must admit it was easier to identify my "true" friends during and after my recovery;) Thanks again for the opportunity to share here today. Continued blessings to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is very humbling to have Jesus as a friend. True friends are the ones who'll be there for you during any situation and I'm thankful for you have them. I hope you have a blessed weekend, Horace.

That's okay, Ifeoma. I came home last and found that the site was down and had been for several hours. I'm glad you were able to linkup today.
