The Best Friend You Could Ever Have

Proverbs 18:24
Some “friends” pretend to be friends, but a true friend sticks closer than a brother.

I remember growing up with my brother how close we were. My mom used to tell people that when we were younger you almost never saw us somewhere without the other one being right there with you. We see in the verse above that there is a true friend who sticks even closer than a brother. What friends we have in the natural we must choose carefully, for as scripture teaches choosing the wrong friends can lead you the wrong way. So we should learn to not neglect the opportunity of the One who wants to be our very best friend.

In John 15:15, Jesus told His disciples that He no longer called them servants, but friends. Jesus is that friend who we can always count on. Let me share with you two key attributes that make Him the best friend you could ever have. In Hebrews 13:5 we find the first of these two things about Jesus. It states that He will never leave you nor forsake you. That means He will always be there for you, because He is for you. As a true friend, He will watch out for you for His focus is to be a help to you, and therefore you know you can depend on His help whenever you need it.

Secondly right after this in Hebrews 13:8, it tells us that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Because He is love He never changes. He will always treat you the same no matter what. When you need encouragement, He will encourage you, but when you need correction, He will correct you because true love cares about you. Don’t neglect the relationship of a true friend in Jesus, because He will always be there for you, and will never leave you nor forsake you.
