What A Friend We Have In Jesus
My life started out with just having my family as a support system to help me
with any trouble that came my way. As I became older, I realized that at times
in my life, the family was just not enough. I then found out that anyone you
considered worthy of your trust or confidence soo became considered a "friend". Not knowing the true meaning of friend, I learned the hardway by trial and error. The older I became, the more I wanted out of these so-called friends. Little did I know at the time that they expected even less out of me. To me, my ideas of what friends should be seemed perfectly fine, but I soon learned that I was in fact, weird in my thinking. Quite quickly, I began to see and understand what a true friend was and the expectations I had for a friend and what function they served. I guess I had high expectations that others seemed to find strange. As
I attended church more and started understanding more of Christ's words', I
starting understanding what a real friend was and should be. I then went on a
quest to find my true friend. I didn't find him/her at school. I didn't find
him/her at work. I still had trouble finding him/her at church what with me
having such funny views. My age finally caught up with my brain and it finally
occured to me that the only true friend we all can have asks nothing of us
except that we trust in Him. He is always available for anyone and doesn't
have to have an appointment to see him. He lives for us..with us..through us.
Do you have a true friend? Do you need a friend like the one I described above?
Email me if you would like some more information on who this wonderful friend is
that I have found and how you can come to know Him too.
What is a friend?
- One who can listen
- One whom knows when to keep silent
- One whom knows what your thinking before you do
- One whom knows when you need a helping hand
- One whom knows how to mend your hurt
- One whom knows just when to call
- One that knows when you need to be alone
- One whom knows how hard life can be, and is there every step of the way
- One in whom you can trust
- One whom sees Jesus also as a friend
Life is a canvas that God painted for us
