Principles and Practices - January 20

The Unchanging Friend

What a wonderful privilege it is to have Jesus for our Friend, to know that He is ready and anxious to help us in all our sorrows and pains, even should they come from the result of sin committed by us. He loves us, and He is our God, our Refuge and our Hope. Why should we be sad when we know that, no matter what our crosses are, nor how friendless and lonely we may be, Jesus still stands beside us - a Friend to the very 1ast.

-Knoff.
