Do you have a friend who is always there for you no matter what? I mean “always”! They never have a family emergency or get sick or have something unexpected come up. You probably have a friend who is “almost always” there for you, but no one could say “always.”
Do you have a friend who will listen to you all times of day or night? I mean “all times”! They are never out of town or are on another call or had their ringer off. You probably have a friend who will listen “almost all the time,” but no one could say “all the time.”
Do you have a friend who always forgives you when you do them wrong and genuinely express sorrow and ask for forgiveness? I mean “always”! They never have to “think about it” or have “had it up to here” or recall your other shortcomings. You probably have a friend who “almost always” will forgive you, but no one could say “always.”
Now, you’ve already figured out the point. You DO have a FRIEND, who is always there for you (Heb. 13:5), always ready to listen (1 John 5:14-15) and will always forgive (1 John 1:9)!
