Pastor Jonathan Laurie shares what a true friendship looks like to the godly person.

Notes:

“David did not know the rest of his story, he just knew that God was writing it, and it would ultimately be good. God has a future for you, too. Until that day, remember, ‘Our times are in His hands.’” —Pastor Greg

Remember that we can always trust an unknown future to a known God.
