Friends are very important,I look back and think about some of the friends I've had ,one in particular stands out ,his name is Pat,I believe God sent him into my life at a crucial time.I had just come back to the Lord. I was still very vunerable,but Pat befriended me,and for those early years he was there for me.He did his best to support and encourage me,now my dear friend is in a nursing home suffering from Parkinson's disease.His life was filled with serving God,supported by his dear wife,the last time I spoke to him I told him I loved him. Such friends are very precious,I value the friends I still have,the fact is we all need friends and we should value them,and thank God for them. But of course the greatest friend that anyone can have is Jesus,He is the perfect friend, I treasure His friendship above all others. I often tell Him I love Him and could not live without Him he is unique.He is not only my friend but He is also my Saviour.That means He was prepared to die for me on the cross .When I think about this ,I'm overwhelmed at such love,greater love hath no man than this.Friends come and friends go .but He is with me always,helping me,comforting me,strengthening me,loving me,and when I come to pass through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil,for He will be with me.
'I've found a friend;oh,such a friend!
So kind,and true,and tender!
So wise a Counsellor and guide
So mighty a Defender!
From Him who loves me now so well
What power my soul shall sever?
Shall life,or death,on earth,or hell?
No! I am His for ever' (Words J.G.Small)
