Devotional for November 24
There's No Friend Like Jesus
Author: M. J. Babbitt
Scripture: John 15:December 14
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are My friends.
Hymn lyrics:
There’s no friend to me like Jesus,
He my ev’ry need supplies;
He not only saves but keeps me,
Nothing good from me denies.
Refrain
Yes, in Him I’m fully trusting,
Yes, through Him I’ll conquer all;
For I know He saves and keeps me,
And He’ll never let me fall.
All, yes, all to me is Jesus,
Blest Redeemer, Savior, Guide,
And from ev’ry foe defends me,
And in Him I’ll ever hide.
Refrain
I will never cease to love Him,
He Who died to set me free;
Now in Him I am abiding,
And some day His face I’ll see.
Refrain
Today's thoughts:
.
Through the years we make many friends. Some are friends for life and some--we forget. Some love us and sadly, some hurt us. But as this old hymn brings to mind there is NO friend like Jesus. All, yes, all to me is Jesus, Blest Redeemer, Savior, Guide. We know Jesus will always be there and on Him we can depend. As the scripture tells us we are His friends and He is ours!.
