"I am with you"

Loyalty is important to me. I tend to be very loyal to the people and organizations I trust. I also greatly value loyalty in those with whom I serve.

As Jonathan led a high-risk raid on a Philistine outpost (see the “One Act of Courage” post), he was accompanied by a loyal armor-bearer. When Jonathan described his audacious plan, the armor-bearer responded, “Do all that you have in mind. Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul” (1 Sam. 14:7). As we seek to build strong families, teams and organizations, may we have the same kind of commitment to one another: “I am with you heart and soul.”
