If I continue to live treat me with the LORD’s faithful love, but if I
die don’t ever withdraw your faithful love from my household—not even when the
LORD cuts off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.” (1
Samuel 20:14-15)
In thinking about
your best friendships, what besides circumstances or preferences would you say
has knit your hearts together?
Looking back at my friendships I would say that most of them
involved shared values and similar circumstances. This does not mean that we walked in lock
step nor does it mean that we didn’t disagree on deeply held beliefs, for
example religion and politics. I felt
that my best friends were there for me, willing to listen to me when I needed
someone to lean on. They were also able
to overlook my multitude of faults and I overlooked theirs.
Why is the Lord such
an integral part of best friendships?
And what’s missing between them when He’s not?
If God is not an active part of friendships, the people are
missing one of life's most important treasures.
