Love Is More Than A Song

The friendship between Jonathan and David demonstrates the difference between convenience love and covenant love. While convenience love stays only when it benefits us, covenant love commits even when it costs something. Jonathan showed this by protecting David from King Saul's threats, celebrating David's success despite it meaning he would lose his throne, and strengthening David's faith during difficult times. Real love moves beyond emotions to provide protection, spiritual encouragement, and accountability. This kind of authentic relationship requires both people to be spiritually healthy enough to give and receive truth in love.
