OUR BEST FRIEND

"When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!"

John 11:33-36
King James Version

John Peterson wrote the beautiful and heart touching inspiring hymn "NO ONE UNDERSTANDS LIKE JESUS" I believe he wrote this hymn from his heart. The words in this hymn are true because no one does understand like Jesus understands when our heart is breaking.

"No one understands like Jesus. He's a friend beyond compare; Meet Him at the throne of mercy; He is waiting for you there.

No one understands like Jesus; Ev'ry woe He sees and feels; Tenderly He whispers comfort, And the broken heart He heals.

No one understands like Jesus When the foes of life assail; You should never be discouraged; Jesus cares and will not fail!"

It is true. No one does understand like Jesus understands. My sister is in the hospital and it is breaking my heart as we are very close. When the tears start to fall, I ask Jesus to help me and take the pain away and He does.

Jesus really cares when we are hurting. When we cry, He cries with us and when we are happy, He rejoices with us. Jesus is the best Friend we will ever have and He will never leave us, not even for one minute.

I love You, dear Jesus and I appreciate all You have done for me.
