A man of many companions may be ruined, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 WEB.
When the world has turned its back on you, Jesus Christ is there. When your best friend has let you down, Jesus is there. When all of your companions have left you behind, you are not alone because Jesus is still there. When you are disappointed, He will sit right there with you. He gave His life for us, and greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13).
Jesus Christ is the One who will always be there for you. He is the One you can always count on. He is the One who will never let you down. His mood stays the same. He won't love you one minute and despise you the next. You can always trust Him, for He is completely faithful and eternal.
Jesus thoroughly understands what we go through in our own lives. He lived here on Earth as a human. Jesus worked, ate, drank, laughed, and wept. One friend betrayed him, while another denied knowing Him at all. Jesus knew bad people who would do anything but tell the truth. He was tempted in all points like we are, yet passed the tests without sin (Hebrews 4:15).
Jesus is the Friend who sticks closer than a brother. Never give His place to someone else in your life, for it will end in disappointment. He is truly the best Friend you will ever have.
Prayer: Jesus Christ, I thank You for laying down Your life for me. I pray that You will grow stronger and stronger in my life. Help me be more like You. I want to know You more, and I choose You today! In Your name, I pray. Amen!
