b'I\\u2019m twenty-eight years old, and I wish I had realized sooner that God is my\\ntruest friend. As a teen, I was told that everyone could make friends\\neasily. But in school, I felt as if I was the only one who couldn\\u2019t. I\\ndesperately wanted to, but I had a hard time finding true friends. I would\\nmake friends only to have them walk out of my life, sometimes permanently.\\nThis took an emotional toll on me. When really nice people would come into\\nmy life, I actually expected to be treated poorly. I expected them to leave\\nme just like everyone else did. I went through so much heartache, I would\\nsometimes forget that Jesus was\\u2014 and is\\u2014my truest friend. He is someone I\\ncan always talk to and always rely on, no matter who walks in and out of my\\nlife. Jesus is the One who will never leave me or forsake me (Hebrews\\n13:5). Jesus never abandoned me to figure out life on my own, and He never\\nwill. He wants me to remember that He is always with me, even when my\\nfriends walk out of my life. No matter how people see me, He sees me as His\\nbeloved child. I\\u2019m thankful I can call Jesus my best friend. \\u2022 Alexis\\nWohler \\u2022 Have you ever had trouble making friends? Community is important\\nto God, and He hurts with you when you are lonely. Consider taking a moment\\nto pray and ask Him to bring people around you in His good timing. \\u2022 When\\nyou feel left out or like you don\\u2019t have enough friends, how might Jesus be\\ninviting you to come to Him and receive His comfort? (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)\\nOne who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend\\nwho sticks closer than a brother.
