I Have A New Best Friend

You’ve got to let me tell you about this new friend I met, just a few short years ago.

I’ve known about him most of my life, but I finally got the opportunity to meet him one day when I was just emotionally drained and really in need of a friend.

Since we’ve met, it seems, He is always there for me day and night, and completely at my beckon call, every moment.

I bring to Him, all my troubles and woes, my shattered life when I’m feeling so lost, and all my unfulfilled hopes and dreams.

I bring to Him all my fears, and all my many uncertainties, and insecurities.

But I also bring to Him all the good things in my life, all my cares, all my happy moments and all my joyful life experiences.

He smiles at me, and with His hand on my shoulder, He reminds me that the gift of life is just one of the many gifts He has given me.

He calmly reassures me with His words of encouragement, and He

reminds me that through it all, He is still with me, He will always be my friend, and He will never leave me.

He died a cruel and agonizing death for my sins, and He paid that ultimate price, so that I would not have to.

 He arose from the tomb, and ascended on that glorious morning of the third day.

Humbly, I offer Him all my thankfulness, and praise, and because I believe in Him and His word.

I can joyfully await His promise to be fulfilled, and then I can go, and live, and be with my new best friend for all eternity.   Bob Watson  1/6/13
