Bread Crumbs “The One True Friend” January 16
When torment has crushed my heart and circumstances have effectively eliminated all hope, �Jesus spreads sweet peace throughout my soul. When I experience the rush of the cascading flood, Jesus assures me I will not be drowned. He has been the “fourth man” in my fire and has always kept me from the burning flame. When my faith threatens to falter, He has sent the comforting word, the anointed song, or the embrace of a friend. Jesus has stood at the front of my boat and with a single word has brought great calm to a threatening tempest. When its darkest, He’s my light. When I’m fearful, He’s my Comfort! When I’m downcast, He’s my Joy! When I’m a failure, He never falters! When I stumble, He makes a way! When I’m lonely, He’s my companion! When in despair, He gives me hope! When I’m famished, Jesus sets the table! When I’m thirsty, He’s Living Water! He is my rock. He is my shelter. He is my fortress. He is my strong tower. If I find myself walking through the valley of the shadow of death, I won’t be walking alone. And when I close my eyes for the final time, I’ll see Him face to face. Oh, precious Jesus!
Proverbs 18:24 - A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
