Poem: A Love Like Jonathan


A Love Like Jonathan
by Jennifer Mersereau



Divine encounter
Words exchanged
Heart no longer seeking

Instant bond
Spirits Entwined 
Love at first meeting

Covenant Love
Loyalty unquestioned
I’d chose you over blood relations
Every time


I wrote this little poem about the deep Godly love between David and Jonathan. It is a love that transcends gender, social status and blood relation. If we are alert enough we too can find such a love. It may or may not be with your spouse. It may last a life time or be a one time meeting.
I have been blessed enough to have encountered my Jonathan love but struggled with the deep feelings for some time. Not knowing how to categorize the relationship and depth of feelings caused an uncomfortableness internally for a few years. Then suddenly with one sentence someone else said it brought clarity and confirmation that it was not wrong but Godly and a gift. One I chose to embrace and cherish as long as I blessed with it.
