I love that I can always count on Jesus. He is not only my God, but he is my best friend. I can talk to him any time, day or night. I don’t have to sugar coat what’s been happening in my life, because he already knows. And, just like any good best friend, even if I go through rough patches, and don’t talk to him for a while, when I do, we pick up right where we left off. He not only listens to me, but he’s also walked the same path I have. He doesn’t always fix everything for me. But I’ve learned that that’s okay. He walks with me in the midst of life, even in my pain and heartache. He never once flees my side, or acts as though I’m being “just a bit over-dramatic”. Instead, because of the light that he shines on the path ahead of us as we walk side by side, I can see the joys that lie ahead, the answered prayers miles away, that while are still unanswered right now, give me the ability to praise him in the darkness, and to remind me not to give into the monsters lurking in the shadows. And on the days when Jesus is my only friend, I praise him even more, because I can know that he will truly never leave me nor forsake me. I just have to keep trusting in him.
