My best friend

Who is my best friend? I have a lot of really good friends, but there's no doubt in my mind about who is closest to me: Jesus Christ. The one friend I forgot to mention in the last post-- i'm sorry, that was my fault. But to continue-- people who don't believe in God and don't want a God to rule over them astound me. Who wouldn't want a loving, personal, listen-to-all-my-secrets friend who gave his life for you? A perfect friend. Someone who will listen to all of your troubles and guide you in the only right direction. Someone who picks you up when you fall down... again and again and again. But most of all, why wouldn't you want a God who forgave you? Imagine that you have an earthly best friend whom you're super close with-- the two of you are practically sisters (or brothers). But you did something horrible, awful, and it hurt that friend more than words can say. The amazing thing is that your friend still loves you-- but hates what you did. And then, most astoundingly, they forgive you, even when you think it's hopeless and impossible. That best friend is Jesus. Not only did he forgive you, but he endured extreme suffering and pain on the cross for your behalf. And-- get this!-- he wants to be your best friend and know all of your secrets and your joy and your pain and your triumphs. The question is, will you tell him you did wrong (sinning) and let him into your heart?
Basically what I'm trying to say here is that there is nothing and no one else in this world I am more thankful for than Jesus Christ!
