  A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. 
Proverbs 18:24

The saying "blood is thicker than water" is a true statement for the most part. Family will always be by your side, no matter what happens in life. Friends are good to have, but nothing seals the relationship like a blood relative. 

As a child of God, you have been accepted into the family of God through Jesus Christ shed blood, on the cross for your sins. Nothing can remove your name from the family tree of Christ. God has provided you His Spirit, who resides with you every day of your human life and into eternity. He will never leave, nor forsake you! Because of His grace and provision, you can come to Him with every need, big or small. I can't tell you the number of times I see His hand work in all matters of my life, even the smallest thing He orchestrates to benefit and bless me. 

Maybe you've never considered Jesus a "blood relative", but He is. His blood covered your sin and cleaned you up so you can stand in His presence, forgiven of all trespasses. No matter your failures, He will never turn His back on you or leave you. He can't be moved, so stay close to Him every day and enjoy the benefits of having this special relationship with Him. He loves you and will always look out for your best interest. Praise Him for His goodness, you have a friend, a brother and a Savior in Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day.
