The Lord, My Friend (a paraphrase of Psalm 23)

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep" (JOHN 10:10-11).

THE Lord is my friend. He remains closer to me than a brother.

He never leaves me to struggle alone;
He is always there, watching over me to prevent me from stumbling.

He writes love letters to me. They strengthen me, uplift me, encourage me and give nourishment to my soul.

He provides love for me when I am lonely and discouraged.
He gives wisdom when I need it most.

AS I go through life, He is my best friend, and some day I shall go to where He is. There I shall spend eternity with Him where I can forever be by His side.
