MY BEST FRIEND

"Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him."
Deuteronomy 13:4
King James Version

Jesus is not only my Saviour, He is also my best Friend. Other friends and family have to go home but Jesus never leaves us. There are no words to express how much I love and appreciate Him.

Bill Gaither wrote a beautiful hymn that says what I am trying to say "The Longer I Serve Him". The words in this hymn are so true.
"The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows; The more that I love Him more love He bestows. Each day is like Heaven, my heart overflows. The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows.

Every need He is supplying, Plenteous grace He bestows. Every day my way gets brighter, The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows."

I surrendered to the mission field when I lived in Texas. I walked down the aisle and told the pastor that God had called me to be a missionary. The pastor took my hand and prayed a beautiful prayer for me. The pastor said "If you want to fly higher than a kite start telling everyone that Jesus loves them".

Does this mean that I am happy all the time? No, because it makes satan very angry when we serve Jesus and he will do all he can do to stop us from serving Jesus. We must not let that happen. We must stay on the mission field for Jesus just as He stayed on the cross for us. I love You, dear Jesus.
