A Friend
by Barbara Philbrook

Would you like to have a friend in whom you could always confide,
one who wouldn't judge you by what you say but what your heart has inside?

Would you like a friend who would recognize your suffering even though you have a smile on your face, would you like to have a friend who recognizes you sometimes feel out of place?

Would you feel good having a friend who even though matters can't be changed makes you feel an inner calm, would you like to have the assurance that you have a friend who can appoint a guardian to keep you from all harm?

How would you feel having the belief you could call on your friend any moment of the day,
wouldn't it be a comfort to be promised he'd hear each and every word you say?

What if I told you there's someone who knows you so well he's aware of the number of hairs on your head, what reaction would you have if I told you he'd died and three days later he rose from the dead?

Now I am telling you there is someone who fits all these criteria and more,
you can come to know him right now he's knocking on your heart's door.

If you believe what 's been said then welcome Jesus the Savior in,
and in that very moment your eternal relationship can begin.
