"…There
is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother"
(Proverbs 18:24).

| Hebrew 13:5 |
In this world, we all have
friends—people we relate with, talk with, share with, pray and play with, and
whose company we enjoy. But even the best of friends may sometimes let you down
or disappoint you in your hour of need; not because they want to, but because
they may be unavailable, or not have the right words to say to you at the time.
Then of course, it is possible for them to get tired of your "issues"
and eventually give up on you, because they feel you aren’t going to change.
But there is a friend that will never
let you down. He will never disappoint, fail, or give up on you! He is never tired
of you, His Name is JESUS (EMMANUEL). Those who know Jesus as a friend don’t seek the help
or favour of men! What you need is to have a private, personal relationship
with Him. And you don’t need to go looking for Him, for He lives in you! You
can talk with Him, and He will talk to you. He is inside you, yet He is with
you. He can talk to you inside you, and also talk to you from the outside! He is
the dearest friend you could ever have, and He has the wisdom and ability to
see you through the most difficult situations.
The Bible says "…He (Jesus) is
able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he
ever liveth to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25). He will go any
length to help you. He already proved it through His death for you on the
cross. He will never give up on you or condemn you! Let Him be your closest
friend; don’t be ashamed to identify yourself with Him for He loves you
exceedingly. He will never be ashamed of you and He will ALWAYS be there for you,
even to the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Start each day by saying "I
love you today, Lord Jesus." Develop that relationship with Him through
His Word and the Holy Ghost.
