I have found my best friend to be Jesus. Today I read in Our Daily Bread about friendship and how we should hold it near to our heart as Jesus held his diciples near to his heart. He did not consider them his servants; He considered them his friends. I guess that's why I'm so greatful that I go to Him with all my needs. I do want to leave you with this quote from Scriven.
WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS,
ALL OUR SINS AND GRIEFS TO BEAR!
WHAT A PRIVILEGE TO CARRY
EVERYTHING TO GOD IN PRAYER!
I would also like to leave a scripture verse with you:
15:9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.
15:10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
15:11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
15:12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
15:13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.
15:15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
15:17 This I command you, to love one another.
