The Greatest Friend
Sallman Head of Christ
God is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:9 NLT
Christ behind you is your forgiveness.
I knew your name and paid for your redemption before you were born.
I died in your place to give you a clean slate and a fresh start.
I drowned your transgressions in the depths of Forgetfulness Sea.
I am your Cleansing—the most blessed assurance of your mind.
Christ within you is your freedom.
I am your Key to liberation from sin’s cruel addiction—live free!
Do not brag about being rich, strong, or wise—never blow your own horn.
Revel in the fact that you know Me—blow a trumpet of praise for God.
I am your Center of Gravity—the most precious treasure of your heart.
Christ beneath you is your foundation.
I am the Solid Rock in a quicksand world—Even Keel on high seas.
Let Me have what troubles you, and I promise to take good care of you.
Lean on My everlasting arms, and I will see that you survive every trial.
I am your Cornerstone—the most powerful fortress for your soul.
Christ before you is your future.
I am your Shepherd; in My Presence you have everything you need—
comfort in hurt, satisfaction in disillusionment, welcome in coldness,
goodness in evil, love in hate, blessings in sadness, hope in doubt.
I am your Confidence—the most beautiful promise of your tomorrows.
Christ beside you is your Friend.
I am with you every heartbeat, breath, step, day, season, and year.
I am your Advocate—I defend against hell’s prosecuting attorney.
I am your Anchor in life’s storms—I comfort you in pain and heartache.
I am your Companion—the most encouraging Friend of your life.
