Gainsville, Florida's Trinity United Methodist Church's Daily Scripture - Friday, 28 February 2014 - Devotion "Friendship"
Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of The Lord (I Samuel 20:42).
The deep friendship between David and Jonathan is legendary and so well known, I wish more men would live into a similar depth of friendship. What is it about our culture that discourages men from sharing deeply with other guys the things that are stirring deep within their hearts and souls? Why do we guys tend to staff on the surface, discussing sports, politics, economy, rather than our own personal stuff.
Blessed is the man who has a David or Jonathan in his life. If you're a man reading this, I hope you are a Jonathan to a David out there, or a David to a Jonathan. And, if you're not yet, ask God to open the door to a strong friendship. Life is tough enough as it is, and it's really tough to go it alone - no matter how great it seemed to work for John Wayne or Clint Eastwood, David and Jonathan knew a far better
way to travel through life - as close and trusted friends.
Love and prayers, Dan
