David and Jonathan shared a very unique and special, God-given bond. 1 Samuel 18:1 says that their souls were knit together and we know that no one is able to knit souls together accept God Himself. The Greek word for this kind of love is “philia” and it refers to the kind of love that exists between friends. God knew that David was about to go through some very difficult and trying times and having someone in his corner, someone looking out for him, and someone that would support and love him was going to make all the difference. What a wonderful truth that the Lord Jesus is with us always, but that He also willingly provides “Jonathans” in our lives through the Church. We all have Jesus...but who is your Jonathan

One of the more beautiful gifts we’ve been given by the Lord Jesus is the Lord’s Prayer. How wonderful is it when we stand together and speak together the words of Jesus from the Gospels “Our Father, who art in heaven hallowed be Thy name...” That God-given prayer not only brings unity among us as in unison we speak our “Family Prayer,” but it also speaks into the unity we have in the koinonia lifestyle. When we pray, we are “Joining Our Hearts” because our prayers are directed toward God who we rely on together, not only for daily bread and other every day needs, but also for salvation itself. Today we remember that we are not only family, but as brothers and sisters in Jesus, we are “Joining Our Hearts” in prayer to our Heavenly Father.
