FJWL_02:158
         (Dad:) Cheer up! Everything's gonna be all right. Jesus really cares about you and He wants you to be happy. When you're lonely and sad, He sees and He feels and He knows. He's always right there, just waiting to be your best friend. He wants you to be friends with other people, too, and to be close to your parents and your shepherds, and He'll help you do all that. But first, He wants to be best friends with you.
         He's lonely sometimes, too, because He wants to be with you more. He wants to understand you, to listen to you, and to give you answers. Yes, even little you! You might think you're not very important and wonder why Jesus would want to spend time with you, but that's not the way He sees it. He's your Friend. He wants to talk to you. He wants to listen to you, and He wants you to listen to Him. He's always there; He never goes away. Jesus, your wonderful Best Friend, is always there for you, so don't forget it.
