And become a beautiful song, for when we seek Love with our all no matter how big we are or how small,we will know the special lift Friendship brings…
It comes from the Heart of God.
Because even if we feel we have no friends to call our own God’s gift of His Son Jesus Christ means we are never alone…
He leads and guides us and makes our way clear reminding us He is always near and because He is with us we can be Strong and continue to Sing His Song.
We can know without a doubt He will send a True friend along who will know His song and they will be there to share through the good and the bad, encouraging us when we are sad being happy when we are glad and warning us when we are going wrong, forgiving, forgetting and leaving the pain behind and then moving on in Love in His name without shame .
This is the beautiful Love song we can have within our heart and of which three need to have a part…. for it’s God’s Love from the start that makes us sing in tune and it’s Him who lets the melody flow so others will know…
“What a Friend we have in Jesus “
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and grief’s to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he’ll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.
Original Music : Charles C. Converse, 1832-1918

Thanks Anne for the reminder again of how much God loves us, there are times that He brings People and animals into our lives to give us joy and then to top all that of He says ” better than all that I am your Friend “, What a wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord.
