1 Samuel 18-20; Psalm 11, 59
This reading speaks of a man so consumed with hatred that he would threaten the life of his son because his son loves the object of his hatred. It also brings into view a wonderful love story between two young men who become closer than brothers. David and Jonathan loved each other intensely, to the point that they were as one. The only human love that could possibly be as strong would be that shared by man and wife. Understand, this was a pure love, without any sexual connotation. It is my conviction that if this kind of love were better understood, there would be fewer homosexuals. Our modern world has confused love, causing many to believe that true love must be consummated with a sexual act. Nothing could be further from the truth! God has created us with a heart that is large enough to love many, but He has reserved sexual acts for marriage, between a man and his wife. All other sexual acts go against God's will, and are acts of sin. The world would be a better place if we could openly love each other with a pure love, regardless of the sex of the other person, without it being viewed as something immoral.
