My Jesus, My Best Friend

Jesus...not someone most people associate as a best friend. Many associate Jesus as only the person who died for them. At first, this is what I thought as well. Then, I realized that I was living not for a relationship, but just for the fact that everyone was telling me that Jesus was my Savior. And He is my Savior! But He is also my best friend. I made a list of something that I like in a best friend. Here is what I came up with. Always there for me, someone that I can tell everything to, will never betray my trust, someone who loves me and I love them, someone who wont hurt me or talk about me behind my back, and someone who is willing to do anything for me. Isn't everything that I just listed characteristics of Christ? I believe so! I think that anything anybody would write down are things of Christ, unless of course someone wants a horrible friend! He is the most amazing friend that anyone can have. Is Jesus your friend? I know that for sure He is mine...just like a friend, we need to communicate with Him everyday. I often pray just as if I was telling my best friend everything that happened that day. Of course He already knows, but God wants you to come to Him and tell Him anyways! He always wants us to come to Him. Do you think that your best friend would be upset if you didn't tell them something important that happened that day? That is how God is. He is sad that we don't come to us and He wants us to feel comfortable in coming to Him! Remember, He is not only your Savior, but your best friend!
