1st Samuel chapter 18, verse 1.

As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul,

the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David,

and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

Is that not a beautiful verse depicting friendship between two people?

Souls knit together in such a way that you love one another as your own soul, like the depth of your being. Oh, when I read this,

I just think about people who have loved me in my life, family members and friends who have

loved my soul. I have poured their life for my soul.

Been an encouragement to me, a help to me, pointed me to Jesus, then what matters forever.

I am so thankful for friends, family members, brothers, and sisters in Christ who have loved

me like this. And I think about family members and friends, brothers and sisters in Christ who have loved me like this. And I think about family members and friends,

brothers and sisters in Christ who I know and love like this and have known and have loved like

this. This is God's design for us as his children. You just think about this. Even this picture of

knit to the soul, one of my favorite

things. When I travel around the world and meet brothers and sisters in Christ in different

places, I love the instant fellowship that we have in Christ. Like, we may not even speak

the same language, but we have the same bloodline. Like,

there's so many differences between us, but at the core, we're brother and sister in Christ,

and our souls are knit together. This is such a beautiful picture that we get to experience

in the body of Christ. So, let's love one another well then. As the church, I just want to pray this

over our relationships with brothers and sisters in Christ. So just think about specifically right now,
