Meet Jesus
Jesus is here for you
Do you sometimes feel like you’re all alone in the world? Do you wish there was someone who really cared about you? Someone you could ALWAYS count on? – NO MATTER WHAT!
God tells you that good friends are very important…“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” Proverbs 17:17
But even close friends and family let us down sometimes. God says that you have one friend that will NEVER let you down…“A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24
You don’t need to be afraid when you’re feeling alone, or things are not going well for you. Jesus is there for you ALL the time. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6
Jesus wants to be your friend — ALL the time — EVERY time.
Bring joy to your life
God provides you with all the things you need, even things that money can’t buy! “We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them. He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.” Acts 14:15,17
True joy, the kind of joy that people can’t take away from you, comes from an abiding personal relationship with Jesus Christ. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
Sometimes having faith in something you can’t see is difficult to imagine, but the joy that will be present in your life as a result of placing your faith in Jesus is evidence of the goal of your faith – the salvation of your soul. “Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” 1 Peter 1:8-9
