 As a Friend, Jesus Proposes to Walk with Us through All the Rough Pathways of Life ㅡ

 “Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.” (Isaiah 27:5)

 Jesus is attractive. He is full of love, mercy, and compassion.

 He proposes to be our friend, to walk with us through all the rough pathways of life.

 He says to us, I am the Lord thy God; walk with Me, and I will fill thy path with light.

 Jesus, the Majesty of heaven, proposes to elevate to companionship with Himself those who come to Him with their burdens, their weaknesses, and their cares.

 He will count them as His children, and finally give them an inheritance of more value than the empires of kings, a crown of glory richer than has ever decked the brow of the most exalted earthly monarch.

 It is our duty to love Jesus as our Redeemer.

 He has a right to command our love, but He invites us to give Him our heart.

 He calls us to walk with Him in the path of humble, truthful obedience.

 His invitation to us is a call to a pure, holy, and happy life—a life of peace and rest, of liberty and love—and to a rich inheritance in the future, immortal life.

 If we choose to live with Christ through the ceaseless ages of eternity, why not choose Him now as our most loved and trusted friend, our best and wisest counselor.

 It is our privilege to have daily a calm, close, happy walk with Jesus.
