We've all heard the quote that "A real friend isn't the one that has been there the longest.. Its the one that walks in when the rest of the world has walked out."
I have never lost so many people in my life than I feel like I have this year. It really struck me today though, that the only REAL friend that any of us have is Jesus. He is the ONLY ONE who will accept us through it all. He will stand there always. He will NEVER leave us nor forsake us.
Proverbs 18:[24] A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
If we grow distant from Him, it is because we, ourselves, left His side.
Psalms 73:[28] But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
Draw close to the One that will never leave you or hurt you.
Hebrews 13:5 (b)...be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Dear Lord, thank You for always being there for me when I never deserve it. I am so sorry for the times that I don't treat You like a friend should. Help me to remain close to You. I love You.
