CONNECTION: KNOWN & LOVED (1 SAMUEL 18:1-4)

CONEXIÓN: CONOCIDO Y AMADO

Pastor Maria Khaleel

How many celebrities, who were “loved” by many,” with huge fan bases who adored them, died tragic and lonely deaths. The cost of their fame was celebrity with anonymity – always surrounded by crowds of people, but not truly known by any, often not even those closes to them knew what was going on in their lives.
David illustrates this well. His fame quickly grew after killing the giant Goliath, with crowds chanting praises for his, and the privilege of marrying the kings daughter, who didn’t know or understand David, a man with a heart after God, and later criticized him for his unashamed worship of God. However, there was one relationship in David’s life that stood out from all the rest, his friendship with Jonathon, a friendship in which David was known and loved, and found great comfort and strength.

This friendship provides an picture of genuine friendship, in which both parties are both known and loved, as an example of the friendships that God has designed us to share. We all need these types of friends in our lives.
