Jonathan had David reaffirm his oath out of love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself. -1 Samuel 20: 17
Jonathan and David had a love for one another than ran deeper than just friendship, it was a bond of brothers. Two men that sought after the Lord, bound together by their love for their Lord, their country and their people.
Wind in the Willows is a childrens book about friendship, one that Id like to read. Reading the synopsis of the book makes me want to read it more and more. Josh and I have begun reading "Devotions for people of purpose" by Charles Colson.. we wanted to do a devotion together, but decided to stray from the popular couples devotional books for this year.. and Josh bought this book knowing that I like Chuck Colson. So, we have started having a devotion together.. and already, one day two, the topic hit home for me.
"..And we ourselves must remember that we have an obligation to our own friends to call them to accountability when we see them falling into sin- and to be open to the loving rebukes of friends who are concerned about our moral character." -"Confronting our Friends" Devotion for January 2nd
"Friendships sound the call to a higher and transcendent communion with God." -Guroian
