“Jesus, You are my Best Friend, and You will always be.” – Hillsong United 🤗 Dear friend finder, I’m talking to myself again, but this is for anyone who feels loneliness, whether physically or emotionally. By physically , I mean being literally alone , and by emotionally , I mean feeling like no one understands what you’re going through or keeping your sorrow to yourself . Let me point you to my Constant Companion, to my Cherished Champion: Jesus Christ, the Lamb and Lion! In this epistle, we start with the story of the patriarchs.
