Yet deep down in me there was this voice that said ’Remember “All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose”?’ The experience was bad and it became like a shadow that I could never shake it off, followed me wherever I went, but there remains a mysterious outcome, which the Creator of the Universe guaranteed that it will be good.
As I seek solace in the love of God through His Word, my tiny but active brain was drawn to the what my cheeky friend said - I am committed to you and this friendship. I was blessed because my greatest fear is when others know about me, they will not want to have me as a friend so I rather not disclose too much. But having said it all, pretense is no longer required and is a great relief to me. And when I was searching on something on the internet, I found the following
1 Samuel 18
Saul's Jealousy of David
1 After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself. 2 From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father's house. 3 And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself. 4 Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, and even his sword, his bow and his belt.
1 Samuel 23:16-18
16 And Saul's son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God. 17 "Don't be afraid," he said. "My father Saul will not lay a hand on you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father Saul knows this." 18 The two of them made a covenant before the LORD. Then Jonathan went home, but David remained at Horesh.
My cheeky fren did what Jonathan did... she encouraged me by accepting me instead of judging me.
I am thankful to God and grateful my cheeky friend.
