Dear Young Christian:

There is an old saying: “A friend in need, is a friend indeed.” This is especially true of the Lord Jesus. He is always available and always able to help us no matter how big or how small the difficulty or problem. He loves us in spite of our failures, and says to each of us, “Ye are My friends” (John 15:14). As you start out on the routine of daily life this week go to Him in all your need. Every day! Every hour! Every moment! Consider the following verses in the light of this wonder Friend and have a wonderful week.

“There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24).

“A friend loveth at all times” (Proverbs 17:17).

“He is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend” (Song of Solomon 5:16).

“Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel” (Proverbs 27:9).

Your Christian Friend,

Jim Hyland
