What a friend we have
in Yeshua

sing or tell your story here is the call-in (347) 826-7353
A best friend is one who loves you just the way you are, and
yet helps you to be all you can be. Jesus is my special Best Friend because no
one has ever loved me as He does. He loved me so much that He gave His life for
me. And He loves me today just as much as He did then
"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He
loved us and sent His Son ... beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to
love one another. No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God
dwells in us, and HIS LOVE IS PERFECTED IN US" (I Jn. 4:10-12). Can words
make it plainer that God's love in Christ is given to pass into us and to
become our life? We shall then love God as He loved us. We shall then love one
another as Christ has loved us. And we shall then love the world with the same
love which God in Christ revealed upon the cross!
Some who read these lines may be bruised and battered by
life. Some of you may be lonely and cast down. Some of you may feel all alone.
If you are a father, or a mother, then you know something of the love of a
parent for a child. You know something of a love that reaches out after a
child, even in its waywardness; a love that reaches out to a child that has
been hurt; a love that reaches after a child who has deserted its family; a
love that NEVER LETS GO. All of that tender compassion of a parent's love is
but the faintest shadow of the infinite love of God which knows no measure; a
love that, indeed, could never let us or any man go. When we become children of
God, we enter into that parental love of God. How sad that so many who call
themselves children of God are, as the apostle warned, "without natural
affection," stubbornly willing to consign the vast majority of God's
wayward sons to everlasting damnation, yea, demanding, as judge and jury, that
they be damned, rather than loving them infinitely and omnipotently as God
loves them!
