Eternal Life with My Eternal Friend

I am certain that Jesus is and will always be a friend of mine forever.

I was born into a Christian family. At the age of 6, I was water baptised. However, I rededicated my life at 9 years old. Growing up as a shy person, I don't have many close friends and am naturally not sociable. I admire people who have many friends and can make friends easily. But as I was taught in Sunday School that when we receive Jesus Christ into our lives, we will have eternal life. And when we go to heaven, we will spend eternity with God.

After receiving eternal life, I actually still don't have a large number of friends. However, God has placed a handful of meaningful friends who are willing to run the race alongside me until I meet Him. I now have the peace knowing that not only am I certain when I leave this world I will have eternal life, but I will also have God as my friend for eternity.
