I have had constant disappointment when it comes
to friendships but I never give up on the whole
concept of friendship. I try again and keep trying.
COMMITTING TO TRUE FRIENDS
A year ago, I found what I had We decided to commit everything
been hunting for all these years; that will make the friendship
a friend. One who was equally transcend all the moments of life; in
looking for the same thing. It good or bad, in happy or sad
appeared that we had a mutual moments. We decided to commit

After finding each other, we took money) and most importantly, love

interestingly, one of the most
difficult things to give.
"YOU NEED TO PUT EFFORT INTO
MAINTAINING GOOD
FRIENDSHIPS"
A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF FRIENDSHIP
David and Jonathan had a kind
of friendship which remains a
great model in my opinion..
Jonathan was born into royalty
and had or could have anything
he desired to be happy. Yet, he
found a kindred spirit in David
and their friendship tested the
bounds of loyalty, trust & love
and survived it all.
The bible says that Jonathan
loved David as his own soul (1
Samuel 18:1) and that is the
relevance of friendships; to love
each other as yourselves and give
yourselves to each other.
Jonathan stripped himself of his
royalty and gave them to David
because he was committed to
their friendship. A committed
friend is selfless and seeks for the
interest of the other. Jonathan
revealed to David all the evil
intentions of his father, Saul, and
saved David’s life countless
number of times.
Committing to a friendship is
agreeably not an easy endeavour
but if you are struggling to
commit to a friendship, just look
up to the Saviour; because He
loved and committed to us even
when we did not deserve it, and
draw your strength from there. It
is worth it!
