Today’s Reading: John 15:9-17 KJV / Psalms 23
Today’s Verse: 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 15:15 KJV
A true friend desires to offer you support, improve your quality of life, and promote self-confidence.
A true friend also desire to provide honesty and unconditional love.
They want to help you progress in every area of your life.
We all battle with seasons of loneliness. We wonder if anyone know, understands or cars about the burdens we carry. All the struggles we face.
As follower of Christ we have an assurance that brings comfort to our heart-felt pains.
The Savior has promised to have a comforting presence in our lives. His presence is undeniable.
The Psalmist David wrote, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me” (Psalms 23:4 KJV).
He knew he was never alone no matter what he was going through.
That he could always find comfort when he prayed and talked to the Lord.
The same holds true for us all.
It does not matter if we are isolated by our own choices by cultural trends, or by the painful losses of life, all who know Christ can rest in His presence.
He is the Shephard of our hearts.
As the song says, “What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!”
May we ever be bringing all to Him in earnest prayer.
Those who know Him as their Friend is never alone.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Savior, we have found a Friend in You. A true Friend. You loved us before we even knew You. Your love brought us to You and with You we want to stay. We are thankful that You are always there to listen to us. To help us through the good things and the bad things that life can bring. We cannot thank You enough. It is wonderful to know that we are never alone.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
