Perfume and incense bring joy to the
heart, and the pleasantness of one's
friend springs from his earnest counsel.
( Proverbs 27:9 *NIV )
As you know a good friend is worth more than gold, for they
will stick by you through good times or bad. For; A man
who has friends must himself be friendly, but there
is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
( Proverbs 18:24 )
Jesus Christ is such a friend, for He has said; You are
my friends if you do what I command. I no longer
call you servants, because a servant does not
know his master's business. Instead, I have called
you friends, for everything that I learned from my
Father I have made known to you. (John 15:14-15)
Therefore I will share a poem with you about our dearest
friend, Jesus Christ. I hope that you will enjoy it!
The Dearest Friend!
I have a Friend in Jesus,
He's ever walking near
To share my every burden
And take away my fear.
It's in His precious name I pray
To our God above;
It's through His sacred teachings that
I learned the way to love.
God did not put me on this earth
To walk life's path alone;
He sent His Son to be my Guide,
The dearest Friend I've known.
No other One could be so true,
He bore the cross for me;
Because He died for my sins
I must ever faithful be.
If you are lonely on life's way
And feel that no one cares,
You have a Friend in Jesus
If you will kneel in prayer.
Poet, Kay Hoffman
