—1 Samuel 20:35-42
by: Kennedy Ochs.
We will experience loss throughout our lives. Our loved ones will leave us—whether by their choice or by circumstances that are out of their control. In this passage, the pain felt by both Jonathan and David is evident. They recognized the loss that they would both have to grieve. Though their friendship would last forever, they would not be able to enjoy each other’s presence any longer. In times like these, it is important to find comfort in God’s promises. We may be separated from our loved ones, but God is by our side through it. And we will be reunited with many loved ones in heaven.
