All of us have experienced rejection. We have often been ignored by people we would like to know better …people we would like as friends. You learn in life that deep and meaningful friendships don't come easily. Friendships are often confusing, frustrating, and discouraging.
Why does it seem so hard to form open, honest, and genuine friendships in a church? Jesus said we should be known by our love for one another. What does that look like? Why don't we see more of it?
I often have people tell me that none of their church friendships go below the surface …that nobody really knows them all that well at church. They wonder if they will ever have people in their lives who truly accept them for the mess they are.
The story of David and Jonathan in 1 Samuel 20 speaks to this idea of friendship. It teaches us that our friendships will only flourish if we seek to be the type of friend we see in God Himself.
