“My BFF”
If you have been around at all you know what that means. If you are my BFF, you are my “Best Friend Forever”.
How many of you know that our BFF’s sometimes leave us in death, sometimes leave us and walk away, or sometimes we just grow apart?
Let’s look at the definition of friend according to Webster’s dictionary.
: one attached to another by affection or esteem
: a favored companion
Now look at the definition of best friend according to Webster’s dictionary.
: one’s closest and dearest friend
: superlative of good
: excelling all others
So even though we may have many friends who we enjoy and esteem highly, we may have only one or maybe two BFF’S. This is someone who is there in the good times, in the bad times, and lifts us up when others let us down. With this person or persons, you can be real and know that they accept you as you are, and they excel all others in making you feel that you can go on and that you are worth something
This BFF will also tell you the truth’s that you may not want to hear because they see in you all you can be.
May I remind you of the dearest friend available to any of us. May I tell you of the one who will tell you the truth and Love you as no one else will do. May I tell you about the one who wants to be you true BFF.
Proverbs 18:24 (KJV)
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Jesus wants to be your “BEST FRIEND FOREVER”!! Jesus will never forsake you nor leave your comfortless. Jesus will be there in the good times and in the bad times. Jesus will lift us up when we are down and hold us when we grieve. Jesus will Love us when we are not lovable.
Jesus will help us with our struggles and be there when our attitudes stink. Jesus will show us the right way when we want to go the wrong way.
Never will there be a BFF like Jesus. May I encourage you today to cultivate that friendship. You can share with this BFF anytime of the night or day without having to call, text, or email. He is just a whisper away.
We need earthly friends. We need those who will agree with us and who we can help and then lean on when we need help. We need those who we can just hang out with and have fun with.
BUT:::: more than anything we need to cultivate the friendship with the one who will never leave, never walk away, never be less than exactly what we need. Our true BFF: JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH!!
What a comfort and privilege to declare that Jesus is my BFF!!
Father, in Jesus name I come. I thank you for the BFF who loved me enough to die for me, rise again, and is even now loving me as no one else ever has. I thank you for the comfort of being able to share all with my BFF. I ask that you move in the innermost being of each person who reads this to develop a friendship with the Lord Jesus Christ. I ask that each person who reads this will be able to say that Jesus is their BFF! Amen
Have an incredible week!
Love, MeMaw
