We are faced with the challenge of knowing who truly is a friend. When we are confronted with life's troubles and need someone to help or even just listen to us, the reality sets in that , most humans really live for themselves and perhaps, their immediate family members. So, when we do not have the family and friends to meet our needs. When we face the challenges of life, we are given fake promises, fake smiles and fake sympathy, used and then dumped.
All this happens because we are not fortunate to have someone who genuinely feels our pains. But, certainly! there is a way out. When no one seems to take interests in the issues and pains that really hurt us, there us one who not only cares, He listens, empathises and gives a way out. In fact, He is a way out. Our creator says through Prophet Isaiah in
Isaiah 1:18
18Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.
An investigation to come is always a nice piece of news especially when faced with challenges that you cannot handle and much more when it comes from one who has been tested and tried, and found capable. You do not have to miss this appointment. The Almighty, All Sufficient, All knowing God saw your predicament and it hurts Him to see you suffering, this is why He initiated us salvation from all that troubles us.
Why don't you honor the invitation and come to the one who can give you the solution you have always truly wanted? Thanks to God for this opportunity to identify who our true friend is. Hr is Jesus, He said
John 14:6-7
6Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
7If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], you would also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen Him.
The start point to facing your challenges with confidence is winning over all of them. Christ's life was and is still a reflection of true friendship. He lived and died that you may have life more abundantly. This is more reason why we have to invite Him into our individual lives so He can dwell in us and order our ways in the right path. Following His will today might appear painful, but believe me its going to be gainful for eternity.
