A Real Friend

Our lives can be full of so much tragedy, hurt, heartbreak, and misery. Yet, even in the midst of all this trouble we can be rich and enjoy life. Some people have lost everything temporal in this life, but they have a real Friend, who is always with them. Of this Friend, the Lord Jesus, we read: “There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). And also, “He is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend” (Song of Solomon 5:16).

To be friendless in this life is to be poor indeed. Many can share accounts of friends who have failed us or let us down when the going got rough. But, in Jesus Christ we have a Friend who loves us no matter what we do and what happens. The poet and hymn-writer, Joseph Scriven, in 1885 wrote: “What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear.” Around 1863 James G. Small wrote, “I’ve found a Friend, O such a friend! He loved me ere I knew Him; He drew me with the cords of love, and thus He bound me to Him.”

It is certainly wonderful to have an unfailing, unchanging Friend in Jesus. Enjoy His companionship today!
