I finished reading a book about King David. What I really liked about it is that revealed more of David's life than I knew before. Dr. Mark Rutland is the author of David the Great. I recommend it highly.
Today, I took notes on chapter 3. Having good friends is important to everyone. Now just because you know many people does not mean that they are your friends. A true, loyal friend is someone whom builds you up! They are honest and are willing to listen. They will also tell you the truth if you are out of line.
We all need friends. However, a true, loyal, and trustworthy friend is what we all need. Social Media friends usually are acquaintances and they do not know you like a trustworthy friend.
A "Jonathan and David" friendship is difficult to find,(Jonathan was King Saul's son and would not betray David even to his father.) Yet, if God blesses you with one or two friendships like theirs, then be diligent in keeping this friendship(s) active! I am blessed to have several true, loyal, and honest friendships!
Stay away from negative people! They will end up causing you to become negative too! Have you heard this one, "One bad apple ruins the whole barrel?" If you have a "bad apple friend," then gently move on to other friends who will build you up!
Thanks for visiting!
I am HIS,
David Walter Wiseman
