Hello Friend - What would it feel like to have a friend who loves you unconditionally, who
can read your heart, who understand your fears, anxieties, stresses, and can sympathise with you,
love you, encourage you, keep your deepest secrets safe - be your rock, your comforter and your
encourager. Wouldn't it feel great? The good news is - there is such a friend. He knows heartache,
pain and suffering. He endured so much in his search for lost souls. He gave his all. He healed the sick,
preached to thousands, was crucified on a cross by a murderous mob - and he has gone to prepare a mansion for whoever decides to accept him - He is reliable, trustworthy, caring, loving, powerful
and understanding. He longs to walk with you - every step of the way along lifes journey. When you
laugh he's there, when you cry, he's there - when you falter, he's there, when you feel no-one cares - he does, when you don't know where to turn - he's standing by - saying - turn to me - I will never let you down. When you think everything is so hard - you're so exhausted, worn out, financially struggling, overworked and under paid - he's there - When you are losing your way and trusting in
riches instead of trusting your wonderful saviour - he is there - saying I LOVE YOU - LET ME INTO
YOUR LIFE AND I WILL CHANGE IT FOR THE BETTER. PICK ME AND YOU CAN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. PICK ME AND YOU CAN HAVE REAL HOPE, REAL HAPPINESS, REAL JOY, REAL PEACE.
IN THE WORLD - it is hard - BUT I WILL TRAVEL THROUGH THE HARD TIMES WITH YOU - I WILL ENCOURAGE SUPPORT UPLIFT AND HELP YOU. I WILL BE TO YOU AN UNCONDITIONAL FRIEND. EVEN AMIDST THE MOST SEVERE PAIN AND HEARTACHE - I WILL BE THERE COMFORTING YOU - LOVING YOU - SHOWING YOU THE WAY. READ THE BIBLE AND LEARN OF ME - ACCEPT ME INTO YOUR LIFE AND YOU WILL HAVE THE GREATEST TREASURE. TEST ME AND SEE - OF MY GREAT LOVE FOR YOU - YOU WILL FIND PURE LOVE, PEACE.AND JOY.
Let's Pray
Dear Heavenly Father
We come to you today with an attitude of gratitude for all the many things you have done for us.
We are thankful that you love us unconditionally. We are thankful that we come to you with our anxieties, problems and stresses and you will give us hope, love, encouragement and guidance.
We are so thankful Lord that you care so much about us that you gave your only begotten son to
die on the cross so that we may live forever. We realise that if Jesus was prepared to shed his blood
to save our souls - then we must be of utmost important to you. Thank you Lord. Thank you so much.
Lord some of us are struggling - we are finding the way really rough - but we are encouraged by
your words - Come unto me who are heavy laden and I will give you rest. We accept your offer Lord.
We invite you into our lives and ask you to walk with us always. It is great to know we have such an awesome friend - someone who loves us so much - someone who knows the deepest desires of our hearts - someone who doesn't look at us in a superficial shallow way - judging us by our outward appearance - but someone who says - I know your heart is breaking - I know your worries and cares,
I know you're weak - but you are made strong in my strength - lean on me - I'll help you through whatever tragedy/trial/pain/heartache you are going through - and one day you will get to see me face to face - and you will walk the streets of gold with me - your heavenly father - the one who loves you and
cares for you and understands you. Help us Lord not to get pre-occupied with the temporary problems we face while travelling our earthly journey - but help us instead to focus on your love, your care, your concern and your vision for us. Help us to reach out and help and encourage those around us - for there will be no greater joy - than one day - knowing how the positive encouraging seeds we have
sown to others - will help them in their journey to heaven. Look after us through this coming week, give us
protection, travelling mercies, joy and happiness - help us to so represent you in such a positive way - that others will want to know you - because they have known us. To God be all the glory - for you are
our helper, rock, salvation and coming king. You are the greatest kindest loving God - and it is a privilege and pleasure to call you our best friend. Amen.
John:15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends
JESUS IS AN UNCONDITIONAL FRIEND - AND HE HAS ALREADY PROVED HIS GREAT LOVE FOR YOU - HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR YOU...DOESN'T THAT MAKE YOU SPECIAL IN JESUS EYES? - INDEED IT DOES - WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO THE ACTIONS OF THE BEST UNCONDITIONAL FRIEND YOU COULD EVER HAVE? I HOPE IT IS THE BEST RESPONSE EVER - AND THAT IS TO INVITE JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE.
FRIEND I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT GOD IS ON DUTY 24/7 - HIS LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDS - HE IS JUST WAITING FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM INTO YOUR LIFE. I HAVE INVITED
THE LORD INTO MY LIFE - WON'T YOU INVITE HIM INTO YOURS - IT WILL BE THE BEST DECISION YOU HAVE EVER MADE. TEMPORARY THINGS COME AND GO - BUT THE LOVE OF JESUS IN YOUR HEART WILL REMAIN FOREVER
GOD BLESS:-)
