Can We Ever Find a Friend So Faithful?
I love this song and was reminded of it the other day, when I thought of it in a way I never had before.
What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry,
Everything to God in prayer.
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear;
All because we do not carry,
Everything to God in prayer.
I am so thankful for a God who not only hears my prayers, will never leave me, but also will always be my friend. He loved me enough to die for me, and His love is the same today! Every fault I make, He loves me, when I blame him, He loves me, and even as I beg his forgiveness He loves me still.
I can't help but feel sorry for those who don't have him as a friend. They go through life alone, and without His helping hand.
May I never take for granted what an awesome friend I have!

ReplyDeletethank you for your thoughts! That was such a blessing to me! Glad to see you have a real relationship with the Lord Jesus
ReplyDeleteAn outstanding idea, girls!! Very well done!! You're right about the text of this great hymn. Too many believers sing hymns without giving much thought to the words....thereby missing the blessing from the Scriptural reminders.
ReplyDeleteAshlyn, your post was such a blessing and encouragement. Thanks for using your blog in an edifying manner!
