Jesus is a good a friend. Jesus doesn’t leave you hanging. I think back to my school days and remember how lunch would be. Everyone would have their friends and knew exactly where to sit during lunch time. Some kids, like me at times, would frantically look about for a place to sit. It was tough. Everyone had their group of friends and if you didn’t belong to one, you’d feel like an outcast. But Jesus is that person that comes and sits with you when you’re alone. He comes to cheer you up. He’s the lifter of our head.
But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. – Psalm 3:3
I was watching Toy Story 4 yesterday with my son and the song came up, “You’ve got a friend in me.” In Jesus we have a friend indeed. He’s a friend that doesn’t change how He views us. Even on our worst of days, He still loves us the same. When our morale is low and we just don’t feel like talking to anyone, He’s there to put His arm around us and remind us that everything is going to be alright. He’s our comforter, our good friend, He’s Jesus.
Jesus is always there to lift your head up. Sometimes we’re so down that we don’t even want to look up. Our countenance is down and we just can’t seem to find the cheer in anything. But Jesus lifts our head up and reminds us that we’re not alone. He’s with us and His plans for us haven’t changed. It doesn’t matter how low you feel, how much people have ran you threw the ground, God is able to lift you up and place you on high places. His vision of you hasn’t changed.
The enemy wants to cloud our vision by feeding us lies. But at the end of the day, our truth lies in who God says we are. People don’t give you your identity. Problems don’t define you. Your childhood, your past, your finances, they don’t define you. God’s word defines you. So regardless of how you or others view yourself, God’s view of you is the truth. We need to ask God to help us understand who we are in Christ. We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. – Romans 8:35-37
