OUR BEST FRIEND

"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

Hebrews 13:5
King James Version

Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. wrote one of my favorite hymns "NO, NOT ONE!". The words in this beautiful hymn are so true.

"There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, No, not one! No, not one! None else could heal all our soul’s diseases, No, not one! No, not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles, He will guide till the day is done; There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, No, not one! No, not one! 

No friend like Him is so high and holy, No, not one! No, not one! And yet no friend is so meek and lowly, No, not one! No, not one!"
I have a wonderful family and a Pastor that I love with all my heart and thank God for them. However, ony Jesus can see into my heart and understand how I feel. Jesus is not only our Saviour, He is also my best Friend. What a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world.

To know that one happy and joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing Jesus face to face fills my heart to overflowing with happiness.

Many years ago when I lived in Texas one of my pastors said in a sermon "If you want to fly higher than a kite, start bragging on Jesus". That pastor was so right. There are times when I'm writing a devotion I feel like I'm flying and that I'm going to explode with happiness.

Do you understand how much Jesus loves you? He loves you so much He allowed them to crucify Him. No one loves us like Jesus loves us and no one ever will. Do you love Jesus? If so, what are you doing to prove to Him how much you love Him?
