Knowing and Loving

Bible in a Year:

• Isaiah 39–40
• Colossians 4

I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan.

2 Samuel 9:7 In the powerful article “Does My Son Know You?” sportswriter Jonathan Tjarks wrote of his battle with terminal cancer and his desire for others to care well for his wife and young son. The thirty-four-year-old wrote the piece just six months prior to his death. Tjarks, a believer in Jesus whose father had died when he was a young adult, shared Scriptures that speak of care for widows and orphans (Exodus 22:22; Isaiah 1:17; James 1:27). And in words directed to his friends, he wrote, “When I see you in heaven, there’s only one thing I’m going to ask—Were you good to my son and my wife? . . . Does my son know you?”

King David wondered if there was “anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom [he could] show kindness for [his dear friend] Jonathan’s sake” (2 Samuel 9:1). A son of Jonathan, Mephibosheth, who was “lame in both feet” (v. 3) due to an accident (see 4:4), was brought to the king. David said to him, “I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table” (9:7). David showed loving care for Mephibosheth, and it’s likely that in time the king truly got to know him (see 19:24–30).

Jesus has called us to love others just as He loves us (John 13:34). As He works in and through us, let’s truly get to know and love them well. .

Reflect & Pray

How can you know others more deeply? What will it look like for you to love them the way God loves you?

Heavenly Father, help me to honor You by striving to truly know and love others.

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

I'm getting the house remodeled. My family has contracted with a handyman to do some things inside and out including painting the walls, replacing the bed and the carpet in my bedroom and also fixing the porch and other stuff.

I also got a new sink rack drainer for the dishes.

Yesterday at Wichita Ridge:

How's everyone doing this morning?
