Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 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 15:13-15
…A friend of publicans and sinners! Luke 7:34b
Jesus is my best-friend! He was a friend of sinners like me, and He died on the cross so that my sins could be forgiven! I have some great friends, and I am very thankful for them, but they can’t always be there when I need them. I am so glad that Jesus promises never to leave me or forsake me. He will always be there with me no matter what is going on! I can cast all my cares on Him, because He cares for me! Jesus is a friend who is always the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Other friends will let me down, but not Jesus…He will never be fair-weather. I praise Jesus for the friend that He is to me!
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged:
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness:
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Thanks for this post Rachel. Jesus is my best friend. Wow, what a thought. So often I feel so alone. Like I have no friends. But every time I am reminded that Jesus is always there for me.
