The greatest compliment we might ever receive comes when someone calls us 
their friend. Perhaps we are all in search of a friend who is true and faithful!
How many friends would you say you have? How many faithful and true friends would answer your phone call in the early hours of the morning? A faithful friend is always there in the hard times. A faithful friend is consistent day in and day out. As a child of God, we can know our God is faithful…
Lamentations 3:22 reads, “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassion never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” The following YouTube (sung by the Blue Rock Mennonite Youth) will provide a good A Cappella arrangement of T.O. Chisholm’s, Great Is Thy Faithfulness.
So often we are willing to help our friends when it’s convenient for our schedule. But if things are busy in our life or if we just ‘don’t feel like it’, our friendship might come into question. This hymn (a song that is sung to our God) states in the chorus, “Morning by morning new mercies I see…” But read about the surmounting evidence as referenced in the 2nd verse…“Summer and winter, springtime and harvest, sun, moon and stars in their courses above join with all nature in manifold (multiple) witness to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.”
How faithful do you think God is to you? Would you consider Him your friend. As we draw this article to a close, read the words of Paul in I Corinthians 10:13, “No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.” When times are difficult and life is tough, is there a friend you can call on. My faith looks heavenward as I know He’s a faithful friend. Great is His faithfulness!
