My Dearest Friend

Jesus or Yeshua, is my dearest friend and guide. When I stroll through the mall or leaf through catalogs and see many desirable things that I cannot get,
I am okay since He  is so much more satisfying than anything this world has to offer. Even if my home is a slummy dump somewhere where raucous parties go on way into the night, I am content there, also, because deep within is a peace that I can cling to. When the laughter has died down and the partiers have gone away, He makes me feel restored. I may not have more than a tattered tract that someone cast aside, but it  about  Jesus, and I will trust in His worthy Name. I have found that a quiet, almost musical voice speaks to me. If I listen and obey those sweet tones, I feel good, but when I disregard it, that lovely peace and joy disappears like steam from a kettle. I want to closely follow my dear Friend and Guide. When I do, even when terrible things are happening all around, I can find a quietness within because He is closer than my heartbeat. When I hear of more shootings in schools, or drug wars, or terrorism I will fear no evil. That doesn’t mean that evil couldn't happen to me, but I will not fear it. Jesus is my shield. I am safe in His care. Even if I am tortured and killed, He will be with me. He will comfort me, and if it gets too bad, He will take me home where I will be safe and full of joy forever more!  His word is precious to me, fellowship with those who also love Jesus (Yeshua) is food for the soul. Even though the Evil One sends many thoughts into our mind to disturb us, we can find nourishment and strength at Jesus’ feet to face him once again. I have been anointed with thy Holy Spirit which makes my heart overflow with joy.  When I look back over my life I see that Jesus has been good to me, and so merciful, so I know He will continue to be so.  If dwelling in His presence is so wonderful, now, what will it be like in eternity?
