Recently I heard an old favourite on the radio,it was the hymn,/What a friend we have in Jesus/,the words of that hymn are very reassuring,the opening words remind us that as Christians we are never friendless. Some people have many friends,others have few,some have none,but here is the good news,Jesus can be our friend.What kind of friend is Jesus?,He is a forgiving friend,in fact that is how the friendship begins,we discover that his death on the cross was for our sins,and that we could be forgiven,and go at last to heaven.As we believe in Him as our Saviour He becomes our friend,the hymn says,/What a Friend/,yes indeed what a friend,they say mans best friend is a dog,not so ,there are some dogs that would lick one to death,then there are others who would eat one alive.Jesus is man's best friend,you can tell Him all your troubles,and He will listen,and listen,and listen. He is always available,in fact He is always with us,I remember and old western where the husband rides of leaving his wife,to face the Indians,Jesus does not run away when we are in trouble,in fact He says I will be with you in trouble.He is with us in our lonely times,hard times,painful times,in our joys and in our sorrows,the Bible describes Him as a friend that sticks closer to us than a brother.
A prayer......./Dear God we thank and praise You for Your friendship,through Jesus Amen /
