What a blessing it is to have a friend. One who loves us and willing to remain our friend in spite of our shortcomings. Jesus our creator is such a friend. This month we are learning from Psalm 139 of God’s intimacy, care and desired friendship through the pen of David, a man after God’s own heart. A man who accepted God for who He is and learned to depend upon Him.
