I've heard people describe a good friend as one who knows all the good and bad about us but loves us anyway. That seems to be a good way to describe the fact that Jesus IS our friend - to the fullest extent!
I'll have to admit that over my lifetime, I have had a few friends that I "let go;" they hurt me so badly that I finally decided that was not a real friendship. When I was reading today's devotional, I was reminded what a blessing it is for Jesus to know us completely and still love us. All He wants from us is complete trust in order that He can "bring out the best" in us. I praise Him for His ever-loving friendship and also ask that God will help me be that kind of friend to others.
What does it mean to you to have Jesus as your "best friend forever?"
