"He is altogether lovely…this is my friend." – Song of Solomon 5
BFF: Instant Messaging shorthand for Best Friends Forever. Teens throw this around carelessly, changing "best friends forever" from one week to the next, with as little thought as changing their hairstyle or their clothes.
Yet, who of us hasn't longed for a BFF, a best friend forever? Most of us have friends that last most of our lives. Many of us have a spouse who is our best friend. But there is a friend who is closer, who loves us just the way we are—foibles, idiosyncrasies, and all. He is a friend who will never leave us—for all eternity—an eternal, omnipotent BFF: Jesus Christ—Best Friend Forever!
