What a friend we have in Jesus!

What a friend we can have in Jesus!

Do you know that truth to be yours? Is Jesus your friend?

Some trust in the strength of their own talents and abilities but those of us who truly know Jesus, soon realize that we have no strength outside of Him and in fact learn that, HE becomes our strength.

When all we've done and strived for comes up empty and meaningless, Jesus waits patiently for an invitation to move in and fill our lives with meaning and hope. He's only a prayer away.

What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.

Ron and Sandie have learned this truth and have been walking in this truth for some time. When the storm of cancer came they did not jump ship and try to find shelter on their own but instead realizing where their true hope comes from, fell on their faces before The Lord and cried out to Him "WE TRUST YOU PRINCE OF PEACE!" and are waiting until Jesus gets them to the other side.

Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.

Ron and Sandie know what it means to have weakness. Their faith is being tested in ways that some of us might never experience and yet, God has been so faithful to comfort, encourage, give wisdom, direction and yes, STRENGTH to walk this journey step by step trusting Jesus Christ who is The Living Word to be the lamp to their feet and a light for their path. Psalm 119:105

Ron and Sandie hope and pray that each of us would KNOW JESUS CHRIST who was crucified for our sins, buried and is alive today and seated at the right hand of His Father praying for us that we would all be able to say:

What a friend we have in Jesus. He is the best friend I have ever known!
