A dog is man’s best friend… or is he? When the conversation comes to discussing the family dog, everyone has a story. These amazing animals bring enjoyment and companionship to so many. You may remember a particular dog you had that was very loyal or protective. Or you might be especially fond of a dog for its hunting skill or obedience. Other dogs are just a bundle of energy and really let you know how happy they are to be with you.
Yes, dogs can be very good friends. They don’t judge or criticize you. They quickly forgive you and seem to sense when you need someone to be near. They aren’t giving any advice, but are just being present. The Bible says that there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. He is our faithful companion. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He quickly forgives us and overlooks a multitude of sins because of his great love for us. He did not come to condemn us, but to give us life and that more abundantly! When we are lonely, he is there to talk to. When we are afraid, he’s there to comfort us. When we are happy, he shares our joy. Jesus is that friend. The old hymn reminds us, “What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer.” If you need a friend, one who accepts you just as you are, call on Jesus today! |
