A friend like no other
Take Heart Shop"It's better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man"
Psalm 118:8
Friendship is one of God’s sweetest gifts. When we find someone we can genuinely trust, it’s a rare and beautiful blessing. But even the most loyal friend, with the best intentions, may fall short. We’re all human, and we all stumble.
In God, we have a friend like no other. He will never leave us, forsake us, or fail us. We can pour out our deepest, most shameful secrets to Him, our unspoken thoughts and know He will never use that information against us. He loves us with perfect love and unfailing compassion.
When we feel isolated or unseen, we can ask God to send us earthly friends. But we can also know that, no matter how alone we may feel, we don't have to be lonely. We have a friend, and we can trust Him. ❤️
This a great time to remenber this timeless hymn
What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Joseph M. Scriven
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And 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
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
"Jesus, thank You for being the friend who never leaves. When others fall short, You remain faithful. Help me trust Your heart when I feel alone, and remind me that I’m never truly by myself. Teach me to lean on You, to talk with You, and to walk in step with You each day. Amen."
