I was five-years-old when I sat in “big church” on an Easter morning listening to Pastor Jeffries tell us about his friend. He told us about his friend who was always with him. How he went through life and was never alone. I look back now and wonder how my tiny self knew so much about loneliness, but I can tell you I did.
I remember knowing how aching and painful loneliness felt. How devastating it was. I knew then that I wanted a friend just like that. I wanted someone who would always stay with me no matter what happened. And that Easter, the pastor’s friend became my friend. It was so easy to trust and ask Jesus to always stay with me.
I see how we make excuses for why we think Jesus wants, or why we think he should want nothing to do with us. We all justify why we should immediately catch fire walking into a church... Well, right now, my church meets in a parking lot... mwahahaha.. excuse gone.
Okay, okay, I know... not the point.
But, here’s my point, if I wasn’t afraid to walk with Jesus and take Him with me so I’d never be alone, why are others so hung up on it?
So, if you want to meet my friend and never be alone, no matter what, Jesus is ready to hang out with you and go with you wherever your life goes.
