OUR BEST FRIEND

“Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.”

 John 15:14 KJV

Peter Philip Bilhorn wrote a beautiful hymn about our Best Friend, Jesus.  I love the words in this hymn.  “Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus, When the cares of life upon you roll; He will heal the wounded heart, He will strength and grace impart; Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus.” 

I have a lot of friends and some very close friends but my best Friend is Jesus.  He loves me unconditionally and He never leaves me, not even for one minute.  When I am going through a dark valley and some times feel like giving up and going to bed and staying there, He picks me up in His arms and carries me.

If you are discouraged and feel like giving up, tell Jesus.  He understands how you feel and He will pick you up in His loving arms and carry you until the pain goes away and He will set you once again on the mountain top of happiness.  Jesus really is our best Friend and He loves you unconditionally.
