Message
Friends provide great companionship and comfort to one another. Do you have a best friend whom you love very much? Your best friend might have helped you in many ways and you too would have been nice to him or her. It is a thing of joy to have a dependable and trustworthy friend. The friend that fits into this picture is Christ. He loves you more than anyone in the world and wants to be your best friend.
Have there not been times you feel very lonely, probably because mummy is no longer alive or your parents are not together? Are you being rejected by your friends or family members because of a deficiency that you have? There is good news for you. Jesus loves you just the way you are and He’s ready to be your friend so that He can make you happy always and grant you the desires of your heart. All you need to do is to invite Him into your heart and ask Him to be your friend and He’ll do that. He will also be your Saviour from sin.
