1 I have found a friend in Jesus-
He's ev'rything to me,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley- in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay,
He tells me ev'ry care on Him to roll;
He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the greatest of ten thousand to my soul.
I have found a friend He's everything to me indeed. I listened to it over and over again and again all day and every day. And I shared with friends and family again and again. Thank you so much, the tune and the lyrics are wonderful.
The taught of past, my present challenges and I looked known one to care, I discovered that I am not fighting man or flesh. I need a friend and a best friend. The only best friend that will never leave me or forsake me is Jesus, then I remember 'I have found a friend in Jesus'.
I have found a friend in Jesus came to my heart his morning and I went on line to check the full lyrics, I am very happy and I feel good about the song . Knowing That Jesus is the best friend to have. God bless the writer of this song.
Throughout my life, I have seen my relationship with God kept me on the right track. Because I have seen Him as a friend, He has been more approachable and relatable. I know I can depend on Jesus because He loves me and I know He has the power to help me when I share my worries with Him. God has proven Himself over and over to me as a faithful friend who is always by my side. Jesus loves me. This I know.

In Youth Group we laugh, have fun and make new friends. We challenge each other to grow and become all that God has designed us to be.
Friendships are also relationships of openness. We cultivate true friendship when we are open and honest. As we share with one another, intimacy is fostered, hearts are united. Openness creates connection, and the gospel allows openness. We can be open, even about our weaknesses and our failings, because we know that we are always loved and accepted. We need not feel ashamed, because Jesus says that we are his friends. Of all people, we as friends of Jesus should have the freedom to be open in our friendships with others.
Gary left the service, we married, and the first year was great. However, the next ten years would be difficult. The things Gary struggled with seemed to be magnified without the presence of the Holy Spirit. I hated confrontation, so I kept the peace. But inside, I found myself placing the blame on his spiritual condition instead of allowing God to show me my own. I longed for spiritual leadership and wanted my kids, a son and a daughter by now, to have a Christian home. But the more I expressed these desires to my husband, the more inadequate Gary felt, the more hopeless I felt, and the harder marriage got.
While I grew up always knowing about Jesus, I never really knew Him as my friend. This all changed in my second year at Boston University when some students from the Catholic Center made a personal invitation for me to hang out with them. Through these friendships I encountered the love of Christ, and by imitating their example, I cultivated a deeply intimate and dynamic relationship with Jesus. With their encouragement and patience, I gradually began to turn away from my life of chasing empty amusement, and toward a life rooted in prayer, which brought with it profound peace and joy I never knew could exist.
First, the Lord commanded Ananias to go to Saul. Though frightened, Ananias obeyed and became the first friend Saul found in his new family of faith.Second, Barnabas became Saul's advocate and friend in Jerusalem. If not for Barnabas, Saul might not have even met the frightened apostles.
Saul never got over the friends he found in Ananias and Barnabas. By becoming those faithful friends, they were about to change the world. It's impossible to understate the power of a faithful friend, and it's critically important that we be that friend to people in our lives.
Have you already been thinking about the best friends you've had? If the faces of your favorite people have already come to mind, you're remembering people who found a way to be with you. Many of them were with you in the routine of life. Maybe you attended class together. Perhaps you grew up in the same home. Maybe it's a favorite tennis partner, or the fishing buddy. If you live long enough, the best friends of your life were also those who found a way to be with you during tough times. How many stories would we have today if we told of friends who drove hundreds of miles to be with you, who jumped on an airplane to stand by your side, or those who canceled appointments to join you? The details differ, butone thing is certain about faithful friends; they don't stop with a phone call, letter, or an e-mail. They find a way to be there.
Imagine how Saul might have felt before Ananias arrived. He'd had no food or drink for three days, and he likely hadn't had much human touch. The men he came with would have been frightened at what happened on the road, and they could get no explanation from Saul. After three days, they'd become frustrated. Why, if Saul wanted to sit in the darkness and die of starvation, they couldn't stop him! He was blind, frightened, and depressed. How simple a solution for Paul's problem. He needed a friend!
But when he arrived, he couldn't find a single disciple. Every time he got close to tracking someone down, he found an empty house. Every time he was ready to hold out his hand in friendship, he grasped nothing but air. After a few days, the truth seemed obvious. The disciples were hiding from Saul. They had heard that he'd become a believer, but they didn't believe it. They were terrified of him (Acts 9:26).
What a beautiful example Barnabas was. As it was then, it is today. A faithful friend stands with you, stands up for you, and doesn't waver in his support. If you've found such a friend, you've found a great source of power. If you are that friend, God's power is working through you!
As a Christian, how should I relate to a gay-identified friend or family member? I have several relationships that involve this dynamic, including both non-Christians and those who claim to be followers of Christ. Any suggestions?
