True Friend - 1 Samuel 18

S - 1 Samuel 18:And Jonathan made a solemn pact with David, because he loved him as he loved himself. Jonathan sealed the pact by taking off his robe and giving it to David, together with his tunic, sword, bow, and belt.
O - Verse 1 of this chapter says, "There was an immediate bond between them, for Jonathan loved David."  Jonathan loved David, as he loved himself.  This is more than just a friendship, this was a true friend; one that would lay his life down for his friend.
A - Do I have a friend like this?  And more importantly, am I a friend like this to someone else?  I know for sure that I am this to Christa and would do anything for her.  However, am I giving of myself to anyone else?  And do I have anyone else that would sacrifice for me?  I am going to set out and be that for someone.
P - God, I thank you so very much for my amazing wife and my wonderful family.  I pray that you would bless them and protect them every single day.  I pray also that you would use me to be a friend to someone else that desperately needs one.  I also pray that you would put a person in my life that I can depend on and be a friend to.  Together, we will be stronger and able to accomplish more than if we were separate only; all for your glory!
