Scripture Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

One of the most wonderful things a person can have in his or her life are friends. Not the kind who are here one minute and gone the next. I am talking about true friends. The kind that know everything about you, but loves you anyway. The kind that are there to support you and to pick you up when you fall and help you back on the right track again.

In this passage it tells us that two are better than one, because if one falls, the other will lift them up. If one is attacked and the other fights with Him against the enemy, they have a better chance of winning. We need people in our lives that we can count on.

One of the worst things in the world must be loneliness. To know that there is absolutely no one you could count on when you need help must be devastating. I thank God for my friends, but I thank Him even more for that friend Jesus that sticks closer than a brother. He is a true friend. He told us in His word that he would always be with us, he will never leave or forsake us. When we accept Jesus into our lives, we are guaranteed never to be alone again.

Are you feeling lonely? If you feel that way, accept Jesus into your life. He will be your friend and He will guide you through your life. And best of all, Jesus never fails.




Friends may come and friends may go
But Jesus said He'd never
Leave you to struggle on your own
He'll stay with you forever.
