Often those who are closest to us, fain love, until we move out of the real of superficiality, desiring wisdom, then they begin to disappear. One by one friends leave because anything of depth frightens them away.
Christ will never leave us, He is the provider of that depth that we desire, there will never be a closer friend.
Proverbs 18:24
"24 A man of too many friends comes to [a]ruin,
But there is a [b]friend who sticks closer than a brother."
John 15:15 ""No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you."
