When I think of friendship Jonathan and David immediately come to mind. There are several things we can learn from them, principles that will enable us to build better friendships.
1) True friendships require chemistry. Your personalities have to “click”.
2) Chemistry may be the spark that ignites the relationship but commitment is the foundation that enables friendships to endure.
3) True friendship requires vulnerability and transparency.
4) Both Jonathan and David demonstrated selflessness in their relationship; consequently their friendship has become the standard by which all friendships are judged.
“Jonathan said, ‘Go in peace! The two of us have vowed friendship in GOD’s name…”’”
–1 Samuel 20:42 (MSG)
Lord Jesus, help me be the kind of friend who is willing to seek his friend’s good over his own. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
