The Covenant of Love: What True Friendship Looks Like

Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement…
A spear on the wall, a vow in the field, and a choice that costs a kingdom—Jonathan and David’s story shows what real friendship looks like when it hurts. We walk through 1 Samuel 19–20 and unpack why covenant love isn’t about romance or convenience; it is about loyalty, sacrifice, and trust before God. Along the way, I share a hard lesson from a past relationship, the maturing of my marriage as we built on Scripture, and the small, faithful ways friends show up when life falls apart.
We dig into Saul’s jealousy and how it tests allegiance, then trace the covenant that binds Jonathan and David beyond emotion.
By the end, you’ll have reflection questions to examine your circle, your marriage, and your patterns of giving and receiving help. Expect a heart check on whether your friendships guard each other’s calling, how to anchor commitments in prayer, and what sacrifices make love visible. If this encouraged you, share it with someone who needs hope, hit follow to catch weekly devotionals, and leave a kind review so others can find the show. Your stories and reviews help this message reach the people who need it most.
