day 2 at camp is “my space for friends.”
Jonathon and David have this amazing friendship. The Bible says that their souls were “knit together.” They stand up for each other, they make a covenant with each other, they even trade girdles (no kidding, see 1 Samuel 18:1-4).
We wrestle with that concept… not the girdle thing; I mean we wrestle with what it means to be knit together with a friend. What does that kind of friendship look like, and how do I get it? We’re all challenged to develop deeper friendships. Just like a chord of three strands, I’ll be a stronger person when I intertwine my life with God and a good friend.
I find myself feeling very thankful for the handful of friends that fit into the "knit together" category.
p.s. if the girdle thing has you wondering, google the Biblical definition of a girdle.
