Una vez hubo un niño pequeño. Su
familia se mudó a un nuevo lugar. No
conocía a nadie en las casas cercanas.
Eso lo hizo sentir solo.
Así que se sentó en los escalones de la
entrada y gritó: “¡Amigos!
¡A-mi-i-i-i-gos! " Quería un amigo.
Al poco tiempo encontró algunos amigos.
Algunos de ellos eran más pequeños.
Algunos de ellos eran mayores. Y algunos
estaban en el medio.
os he llamado amigos,
porque todo lo que oí
de mi Padre, os lo he
dado a conocer.
Juan 15:15
¿Quieres un amigo
que ore por ti?
Jesús . . . levantó los ojos al cielo y dijo: . .
“Te pido por ellos. No ruego por el mundo,
sino por los que me diste, porque son
tuyos”. Juan 17: 1, 9
¿Quieres un amigo
que te haga feliz?
[Jesús dijo:] "Estas cosas les he dicho
para que mi gozo esté en ustedes, y su
gozo sea completo". Juan 15:11
¿Quieres un amigo que te
perdone cuando haces algo
mal?
2. Which of all our friends to save us, 3. When He lived on earth abasèd, 4. O for grace our hearts to soften!
Could or would have shed their blood? Friend of sinners was His name; Teach us, Lord, at length to love;
But our Jesus died to have us Now, above all glory raisèd, We, alas! forget too often,
Reconciled, in Him to God: He rejoices in the same: What a Friend we have above:
This was boundless love indeed! Still He calls them brethren, friends, But when home our souls are brought,
Jesus is a Friend in need. And to all their wants attends. We will love Thee as we ought.
Do You Want a Friend?
