Labor day weekend is full of mixed emotions for many young people as they prepared to go back to school. All young people can probably identify with what Doug Bender says in this video which is wondering if they will ever have one good friend who truly understands them. Peer pressure has a way of eroding a young person's self esteem and in this social networking world it is easy for young people to feel lonely and isolated from others.
Doug Bender said a pray asking God to show him one very good friend who truly knows him and who is there for him when he most needs a friend. On the eve of his 16th birthday Doug found out that God did answer that prayer because the one friend that has been there for him all those years was Jesus Christ.
Are you taking the time to get to know Jesus? Are you spending time with Jesus and reading his remarkable word? As you cultivate this all important relationship you will discover that you will develop a more Christ centered walk with God and the Self has been replaced with Christ esteem.
God wants to be your friend. Won't you allow him to come into your life and be that friend?
