Meditate On
...there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24
What A
Friend We Have In Jesus
Jesus’ presence in your life is a free gift from God.
There is no amount of good that you can do to earn it. It’s a free gift. Now,
because you did nothing to deserve His presence in your life, there is nothing
you can do that will cause His presence to leave you. Once you have received
Jesus into your heart, He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)!
“But Pastor Prince, when I fail, doesn’t Jesus leave me?”
No, Jesus is right by your side to encourage you and
restore you to wholeness. You may say, “But I don’t deserve it!” You’re right.
That’s what makes it His unmerited favor in your life. When you fail, Jesus is
there to uphold you. Unlike some of your so-called “friends,” He doesn’t just
take off. You can count on Him. He is a faithful, dependable and trustworthy
friend. Even when you have failed Him, He is right there with you, ready to
pick you up and restore you to wholeness. The Bible talks about a friend who
“sticks closer than a brother.” That’s Jesus and you have Him always!

JOSEPH PRINCE
