"A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24
My Best Friend:
(Jesus Christ to John, the disciple Jesus Loved)
Who is your best friend?… Write their name
down.
Each of us have an earthly best friend, even
Jesus did. John is referred to… as the disciple that Jesus loved. Jesus
revealed to John the "revelation" of this world. He got to see
visions of the last days before anyone else. John was always near Jesus. He was
as close to Jesus as he could be….
Do you realize that you have a best
friend? Someone
who will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. You have the perfect friend already.
You just need to get to know Him better.
Jesus has always been my best friend. I am
"alone" most of the day... but I'm not really alone ever. I talk with
Jesus all day long. I tell him my trials, I ask Him for
wisdom and insights on daily tasks, I even asked Him to help me write this
lesson and what to say to you. I am always talking to Him and continuously
trying to read more of His Word, the Bible. He teaches me how to be a good
friend to others. He is the best example for me to follow, because He has never failed
and never will fail in our friendship. He will always have a listening ear and
understanding heart toward me. He loves me more than anyone else ever has. (John 15:13, John 10:17-18)
And He is there for you. Talk to Him. :)
