Jesus is our Best Friend!

                   

Friends are indispensable in our lives. Real friends stick with each other in times of difficulties more than in times of celebration. You have the liberty to wake them up in the middle of the night just to speak with them because you can't get any sleep. When you're broke and your friend's got just enough money to buy one sandwich, you have nothing to worry about. He or she will still share it with you. Things your parents may not know about you, your best friend will know. Your deepest secrets. What you like and what you don't like, whether your lying or speaking the truth. If there's something wrong in your life, your best friend will be the first one to find out just by looking at you. No matter how hard you try to camouflage what's happening within you, you are transparent when you're around your best friend. She or he can see right through you. Even if there are ten people stronger than you, coming against you, your best friend will stand up for you. He or she will speak for you and sometimes take your punishment. He or she will tell you,'Hey chill. I'll take care of it!' But deep inside they're as scared of them as you are. But their love for you makes them bold enough to face their fears. 

If you have a friend like that count yourself blessed. If you don't, you're not missing out on anything either. Because you still have a best friend. The best of all best friends! And That is Jesus! Our best friend!! He calls us His friends. Not his minions( although minions are cute). He doesn't call us His slaves, His subjects, His servants, but His friends. The God of all creation calls us His friends. Who are we ? Nothing but clay! Yet He is mindful of us! He shares secrets with us. Makes us laugh when we're down. Comforts us when we need it the most. Cheers us up when we're at a loss for hope. We can always count on Him. He is trustworthy and faithful. He never will disappoint us.

When we do what He commands us, we become His friends. Guess what that command is? That we may love one another just like how He loves us! When we were still sinners, He died for us. Just so that you and I can live freely and eternally! He stood up for us and He still does. Always speaking to the Father on our behalf and giving us more grace and mercy as each day passes by. Hoping and waiting that you would see clearly how much He loves you. Giving you another chance. His arms are still stretched out for you. Why don't you run to Him? Jesus is your best friend! The best thing that could ever happen to you!
