Do You Know MY Friend?



My friend keeps us healthy, happy, and safe from harm.
He permits us to prosper in all we do, if we just trust in Him.
He teaches us patience, and brings us trials to perfect the weaknesses in our lives.
He gives us strength to fight temptation.
And strengthens our faith to believe in Him.......Do you know Him?
He gives us the breath of life, and His compassion.
He doesn't bring stress, only blessings.
He is forever loving and forgiving.
He was yesterday, is today, and will be tomorrow.......Do you know Him?
He gives us the Good News, and the knowledge to understand His Word.
He communicates with us by way of the Holy Spirit.
My friend is my light to follow, when the way is not clear.
I obey Him, praise Him, and trust in Him.
He is my Creator, my Lord, and my Savior.......He died for me!
His name is Jesus Christ.
I thank Him. And give Him all the glory!
