Jesus is our Friend
Many Christians are always Depressed. They do not understand that Jesus is our Friend. Jesus is our Best Friend. We just need to reach out to him in prayer. Jesus Loves You, is not just a fun to sing Christian Children’s song it is the Truth.
Proverbs 18:24 “…there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”
You are never alone. Jesus is always with you. Everyone may leave you during the toughest times, but Jesus will be there Carrying you.
You may be really suffering right now. JESUS LOVES YOU. He will help you. He will Comfort you. You just need to Accept his Comforting.
You may be homeless, living on the streets. Addicted to Drugs, Alcohol or something else.
Where ever you are at right now in life, no matter if you are sitting in an alley getting your fix on or in another bad situation Jesus Loves You and wants to Save you from yourself. (Jesus will Save you right now, if you ask him to.) Jesus is the Only one who can Clean You Up.
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Mark 9:23 “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
Jesus will pull you up out of any gutter you many find yourself in. A gutter can be a rut you are in. Your Christian Life stalled out because you, have lost your faith…
If you are going through something Bad in your Life. Jesus can help you. He will Comfort you. He will take away your pain.
Maybe you are dealing with bad news…
You could be suffering because your child just died…
Life is very tough. Blaming Jesus is some people’s 1st reaction to terrible things that happen. A child dying is impossible to deal with without Jesus.
One thing you can know every child that dies is with Jesus. People have lost all the will to live because of the loss of their child… For other reasons.
The answer is not to give up. Pray, Cry Out to Jesus.
“Jesus I am hurting so much right now I have lost my will to live. Please help me right now Jesus. I do not know what to do….”
There are times we have to Lean on the Love of Jesus.
Jesus Loves You SO MUCH… HE DIED FOR YOU. He paid the Penalty for All of your Sins.
Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Jesus Loves You so much he Died to Save you. Just pray and ask Jesus to Save you if you have not. Believe on Jesus Death, Burial and Resurrection as the only payment for your Sins. You can do nothing to Save yourself.
If you are Saved than you know you can trust Jesus to help you, to Comfort you.
John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Many men, women, even children have sacrificed their lives to Save another person’s Life. This is the Greatest Love any Person can show, Dying to Save someone.
We all face our own mortality. Maybe you have just heard, you or someone you love has a sickness that could lead to death. Turn this over to Jesus. Jesus Loves You.
All Sorrow, all Grief turn over to Jesus.
Isaiah 53:3 “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”
Grief is Deep Sorrow, a painful feeling often caused by suffering a great loss.
Jesus is always there for you when you need him. When you are feeling pain, are full of Grief, Jesus is right there with you.
Isaiah 53:4 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.”
Jesus hath borne our Griefs, and carried our Sorrows.
Wow!!!
Jesus understands all of our Pain. When the Bible says Jesus hath borne our Griefs and carried our Sorrows that means Jesus will take away your Pain and all of your Sorrows if you let him.
Jesus takes our Griefs and carries our Sorrows because he Loves us. Jesus Loves You.
Myself, I deal with grief by closing myself off to the entire world. I pray… I cry… I read the Bible…
I listen to music. A great song of hope is:
What a Friend we have in Jesus
By Joseph M. Scriven, 1855
What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
Amen.
God Bless You.
Jesus Loves You.
