Will you allow Jesus to be your friend?

"Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you your heart's desire."   Psalm 37:4   CSB

When you were at school, you may have had a best friend. You went everywhere with this friend and always did things together. The days when you used to knock their door to ask if they were 'coming out to play,' was very sad and lonely if they were not allowed out that day. When they were allowed out, the time together was amazing because you delighted in each other.

This is the type of relationship that Jesus wants to have with you. He is always allowed out 'to play.' He wants to spend as much time with you as you will allow. Watch that last phrase, 'as you will allow.' He desires to be with you 24/7 and this means when you are at work, asleep or have free time on your hands. Sadly, we find it difficult to have Him accompany us to work. Sometimes we don't even think that could be possible; but it is,

Whatever your job is - at home, a work place, driving on the road or whatever, Jesus can accompany you, if you allow Him to.

It is the same when you get involved in your hobbies. He knows all of the birds and where to find them. He can help you paint the most amazing sea or land scapes and, His photography skills are second to none. All it takes is for you to allow Him to be involved in what you are doing. It isn't that He doesn’t want you to be successful in life, He does but, He more than anything, wants to be a part of your every day. He is your best friend.

When He is part of our every day lives as I've mentioned, He will give you your hearts's delight. He will make you that successful work person; He will give you the best ideas for a superb painting, He will also show you the best shots to photograph and tell you what the best settings are. You may think, 'He can't do that,' Oh yes He can, because nothing is impossible for Him.

Do you want to be successful in what you do? Then involve your best friend - Jesus. He can enable you to invent something that can change the world, through one of His ideas. There are many people who make a fortune from inventing something. You could be one of them. But more than anything, He can put a bounce in your step each and everyday by being your friend and accompanying you from here to there. But will you allow Him to be involved in all of your life?

If you are not born again and want to be, here I’ll below is a prayer of salvation:

'Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
