“There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus.”
Jesus is my best friend. He has proven that over and over, even if the cross was not enough proof. I am not a very good friend, however. A friend likes to spend time with the person they love, to get to know them better and better. They want to try the foods that their friend prefers. They want to go the places where their friend is. They want their friend to be happy, so they don’t leave dirty clothes lying around if their friend doesn’t appreciate it. They want to be friends with the people their friend likes. A friend will protect their friend from enemies. They do not say things that hurt or offend their friend. They are always telling others about their friend–what their friend does and says. If their friend sends them a note or a card, they treasure it and read it over and over. They share the wonderful thoughts their friend sent with others. They wake up every morning excited to spend the day with their friend and are sad when their friend is away.
The Christian walk is fairly simple if we remember Jesus is our friend, and if we treat Jesus as a friend that we love.
“There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, No, not one! no, not one!”
