JESUS OUR FRIEND

“Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”

John 15:15 KJV

Eliza Edmunds Hewitt wrote a beautiful hymn about Jesus our Friend “The Precious Friend”.  I love these words.  “Never will this Friend forsake me, I would in His love confide, Then whatever ills o’ertake me, Peace shall in my soul abide; O, how great is His salvation, O, what mercy He’ll extend!”

It doesn’t matter how many times satan attacks us with arrows of doubt, discouragement and lies; Jesus will always be with us.  There are times when we hurt and fail one another but Jesus will never hurt us or fail us.  He loved us yesterday.  He loves us today and He will love us tomorrow.  What a precious Friend!

If you don’t know our loving Saviour, I urge you to take the time to know Him.  You can be saved and not know Him.  To know someone, you have to spend time with that person.  I have not had the privilege of going to Bible College but I have attended God’s University every day since January 24, 2005.

Heavenly Father, thank You for sharing Jesus with us.  Thank You for the privilege of serving Your beloved Son and thank You for adopting me into Your family.  I pray for all those who are discouraged.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  I love You, Jesus.  I love You, Holy Spirit.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
