Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure. -- Jewish SayingJesus knows everything about you. He knows exactly what your faults are. He knows every thought you ever had. He knows your weaknesses and yet He loves you infinitely. Jesus will never leave you or betray you.

Jesus is like a friend who knows exactly when you need something and when you don't. A friend who never gives you any advice unless you ask for it.
A friend who relieves your pain and sorrow. A friend with whom you share your joy and your grief.

If you're in trouble and your problems threaten to overwhelm you, just talk to the Lord Jesus. Then you will find that He cares about you. Perhaps you are tired and spent. Even up till the point of collapsing. Jesus is always that Friend you can call on anytime. That will never change. If you're lonely and don't know what to do, trust in the lord Jesus. He will guide you through.

Is everything in life difficult and do you feel misunderstood? You may think there's nothing you can say or do right anymore. But whatever you say or do, Jesus is always here for you. Even if everyone leaves you, He will always be there for you.

And nothing can separate you from Jesus Christ's love. Perhaps you were untrue. Perhaps you did something wrong and wrecked your life. Or you may be in danger, or afraid of dying. You can be assured that He will be true to you under all circumstances. Be convinced that nothing can separate you from God's love. God's love finds expression in Jesus Christ. Death cannot do that. Nor can life. Or the angels. Or the world. Or today's things, or tomorrow's.

No, there is no power that can. Whatever height you've ascended to, or whatever depth you've descended to. Nothing in the whole of creation can separate you from God's love. And it is God's love that was given to you in Jesus Christ, our Lord. For He took the punishment of your sins on Him and made you one with God. He is the sacrifice for your sins. And not just yours, also those of all mankind. He is always there for you, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
And He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

    What a friend we have in Jesus,
    all our sins and griefs to bear!
    What a privilege to carry
    everything to God in prayer!
    O what peace we often forfeit,
    O what needless pain we bear,
    all because we do not carry
    everything to God in prayer.

     

    Are we weak and heavy laden,
    cumbered with a load of care?
    Precious Savior, still our refuge;
    take it to the Lord in prayer.
    Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
    Take it to the Lord in prayer!
    In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
    thou wilt find a solace there.
