Love, Like, And Appreciate!

We Love Because
The Living God Is Love
AND

We Are Called To That Purpose!

We Are Instructed
To Love Our Neighbor
As We Love Ourselves
AND
Brethren
This Is Quite Instructive!

They Are People That We Love
BUT
Do Not Necessarily Like
Even Though In Our Hearts We Hold Them, Dear
For Their Conversation
Their Behaviors
Their Interests Are Not Ours
AND
Constant Lounging In Their Presence
- Physically Or Orally -
Is Not Something For Which We Do Care!

Remember ...

Only Those Who Agree
Walk Together!

Pleases Me!
Brings Me Pleasure ...

There Are Those Persons Whom We Love
AND

Whom We Like
AND
Whom We Sincerely Appreciate
Those For Whom Gratitude Is A Banner We Bear
AND

It Only Takes
A Simple Action On Their Part
For Recognition In Us To Dawn
AND
For Us To Know
That They Are Keepers
AND

We Desire That From Us
They Never Depart!

This Is The Person
That Is Friend!

We Previously Called Them Friend 

Unconsciously
BUT
Something Happens
AND
We
- By An Act Of Will -
Recognize
That Friend Is What They Really Are
AND
Then We
- With Finite Understanding -
Understand
The Words Of Our Lord:

... There Is A Friend

That Sticketh

Closer Than A Brother!

What A Friend We Have
In Jesus
A Friend With Whom We
Our Burdens Share
- Joys, Hopes, And Pleasures Too -
A Friend To Comfort
Guide Feed And Lead Us
The Friend
That From Us
Will Never Turn Away!

He Is The Friend
The Soul's Life-Giver
The Friend
In Whose Blood
Our Sins Are Washed Away
The Friend
From Whom Grace Comes
AND

Mercy
AND
Sure Salvation
The Friend
Whose Love For Us
Knows No Bounds
The Friend On Whom
We Can Ever Depend! 

Jesus Christ 

The One Righteous

IS

The Friend
Who Gives Unto His Faithful Friends
Abundant Life
AND
Immortality
That Is
Life Everlasting
Life  ... Without End!

Jesus Christ Is My Friend!

Will You Make Him Yours?!
