YOU ARE MY FRIENDS

YOU ARE MY FRIENDS

Jesus spoke to the multitudes mainly in parables,
He had to accompany His words with miracles.
But even then they did not comprehend,
They made little effort to understand.

He spoke to them of truly knowing God,
Many lives were broken and at odds.
But some heard and positively did respond,
Their actions were made to correspond.

These became the earnest disciples of the Lord,
They were thrilled in their new faith in God.
They heard words from their Master that changed their lives,
From then onwards for the Kingdom of God they would strive.

Jesus loved the disciples for who they were,
He knew their weaknesses, that’s for sure.
He cared for them with a love that was rare,
He taught them how to have a heart that really cares.

He called them “Friends” to their great surprise,
How could their Master give them this rare prize?
It would be enough to be called His servants true,
They were prepared to serve as all servants do.

Friendship with Jesus- a deep insight,
It makes the heart tremble with delight.
The soul rejoices in this thought,
Jesus had extended the love of God.
John 15:14
