WE NEED YOU JESUS

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”

Hebrews 4:14-16 KJV

Jesus understands how we feel when we are discouraged and lonely.  He was tempted like we are.  He was spat on, cursed, mocked, ridiculed and forsaken by everyone.  I’m sure there were many times when He was here on earth and praying to His Father that He had tears in His eyes because He was hurting.

It is a great relief to be able to talk to someone and share our burdens but nobody understands and feels our pain like Jesus does.  Jesus is the best Friend we will ever have.  When we are hurting and it seems like the long night will never end, He sets beside our bed and tenderly dries our tears with kisses.

Jesus is tender, understanding, compassionate and caring.  He longs to pick us up in His loving arms and carry us through all the dark valleys in our life until the pain goes away.  What a loving compassionate Saviour and Friend we are privileged to know.  We need You, Jesus and we love You.

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving Jesus to us, not only to die for our sins but also to be our best Friend.  Precious Saviour, we do need You.  We need You every minute of every day.  Thank You for loving us and for being our best Friend.  I love You with all my heart.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
