- 0:00So much, family friends welcome to one more episode of the soul mural.
- 0:10Thank you for being there from the moment one and those who are new to
- 0:15the tune of this podcast, I want to tell you that this is a
- 0:21matter of teaching God, of love, of life, of values, of
- 0:24reflecting on everything a little bit, but with a different style, as very
- 0:29colloquial, very like speaking without protocols, without literary compositions or things like that,
- 0:37but to the language of the average, but with a continuance to the
- 0:43moment of carrying a message that, at least outgoing to the change of the
- 0:46world. Suddenly it is a granite, very small of sand to achieve change
- 0:50in the world. But that' s the purpose of this podcast that I,
- 0:54David Fernando, hosted, I want to introduce to you and I say
- 0:57thank you all for the concerns, opinions, suggestions within respect and all this
- 1:03that you prodigy to make better content. Therefore, that each of us has
- 1:10been built with these advices and reflections in his own style. On all podcast
- 1:15platforms we are in audible, in Desear, Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google
- 1:21Podcast i Heart, on YouTube and on Facebook. They find us as the
- 1:26mural of the soul. Welcome to other episodes of the soul mural. I
- 1:37told them about friendship and today I continue with that topic, but with another
- 1:42reflection, another story and other circumstances. The friendship that linked the two Greek
- 1:48warriors, pelopids and epiminondas, is famous. I don' t know what
- 1:55to say. That' s the last name you' ll be apologizing to
- 1:57me. If I said it badly, so much was that in the battle
- 2:05of mantinea they united their shields to be able to fight together and help each
- 2:08other. They fought like this for some time and were defeating their enemies until
- 2:15Pelopidos fell wounded and shed a lot of blood from the wounds, he was
- 2:23about to die. Epaminondas then decided to continue fighting next to Pelopidas' body,
- 2:32even if he himself had to die with his friend, whom he thought
- 2:38he would die in that place. Epaminondas was also seriously injured. He remained
- 2:46fighting there until other compatriots arrived and rescued the two dying friends. From that
- 2:53day on, that friendship became proverbial. Then they went to be generals of
- 3:00the Teban army with equal authority and there was never any rivalry or envy,
- 3:10among them pelopid and epiminondas, two Greek warriors not so well known, at
- 3:17least on our plane of history or at least that they have taught us at
- 3:21school or suddenly, perhaps if in other times and circumstances. But they lead
- 3:25me to talk about friendship. And one of the facets of friendship is that
- 3:32the true Sunday, the true friend, does not abandon. There are friends
- 3:39out of interest, they' re only with you because you have resources,
- 3:46money, position. Go back to that old friend, tell me how much
- 3:53you got, how much you' re worth. That' s not friendship,
- 3:54it' s a false friendship, it' s not friendship. To
- 3:57tell you the truth, the true friend is at all times, even in
- 4:04difficult times. It' s there, it doesn' t leave, it
- 4:10always stays. He' s there. God is like this with us,
- 4:15God will always be there, in good times and in bad times. Let
- 4:19us understand this when you and I put ourselves to God, when you and
- 4:25I decide to constitute God as the partner, the parter, the corduroy,
- 4:30the friend, the best friend, He promises to be with us, though
- 4:36in a context of evangelism I kill chapter twenty- eight verse twenty. Jesus
- 4:40tells his disciples before he is promoted by saying so I will always be with
- 4:45you, even to the end of the world. I want to take that
- 4:48verse as being of God' s unconditional friendship and love for us. He
- 4:55promised to be with us forever. In isaiah as ntrainta and one ten,
- 5:00God says or through the prophet, say fear not, for I am with
- 5:04you, do not faint, for I am your God who exerts you,
- 5:10I will always help you, I will always sustain you with the right hand
- 5:14of my righteousness. So the guarantee of a divine friendship is latent, permanent,
- 5:20hard, lasting forever. Eh because when we are wrong you and we
- 5:29have a friend to go to at all times, if we muddy and sin
- 5:33and fail, you cool quiet is not license to sin, of course.
- 5:39But I mean we can always find that there is a God who forgives us,
- 5:45because he knows that we are dust, we are fallible, we are
- 5:50prone to fail, and it is the key to recognize that we fail,
- 5:56and he extends his hand of forgiveness and mercy. But he is there at
- 6:00all times, at all times, the Lord is there to lift us up,
- 6:04to comfort us. It is bowing knee, the distance from the knees
- 6:08to the ground, in the distance between God and us. And say God,
- 6:11I feel that way and aza. Help me, get me out of
- 6:15this comfort strengthen me, Help me, you be the one who is there
- 6:21with me at all times, in all distress, in all need. That
- 6:26on the spiritual plane, but now on the physical plane, ask yourself if
- 6:30the friends who are next to you are like that relationship between Pelopias Ymimn and
- 6:36Epaminondas, that relationship of two warriors, of two friends who were still together
- 6:43until the end of the end Epaminondas fighting next to the corpse of his friend
- 6:49Pelopias, who was riddled by the enemy army and he said I will not
- 6:56leave my friend yes, at this moment is a dead body all his blood
- 7:00is spilled on the ground. That land turned red because of my friend'
- 7:08s blood, but I' m not leaving it. He' s dead,
- 7:12yes, he' s lifeless. There' s no air in his
- 7:15lungs, no breath, but I' m not leaving my friend. If
- 7:19I have to die, I will die by his side, but I will
- 7:24not leave my friend, because he is my friend. You know, the
- 7:28Bible tells a very nice friendship relationship. David and Jonathan, Jonathan the son
- 7:33of King Saul, the same King Saul who sought to kill David and seek
- 7:39a way to kill BB because because of the expression and perception of Fernando Higuera,
- 7:47Saul saw that the people hailed David more than him and bothered him terribly
- 7:54and he looked for a way to kill him and killed him and wanted and
- 7:58wanted and had that benevolence, that envy, envy, envy. But,
- 8:05well, that' s another subject that one day I' ll have to
- 8:09delve into the mural of the soul. But that one touches me with tweezers
- 8:13like the surgeon. But, well, let us return here in spite of
- 8:18that, for Saul had a son, Jonathan. And this is particularly so
- 8:26because David and Jonathan met and their friendship relationship was very beautiful. They were
- 8:33the pana the parceros for all time and all time and shared together. I
- 8:39imagine they played together, laughed together, enjoyed their friendship and relationship in a
- 8:46Bacane way and swore to each other that whoever was then, David was not
- 8:52king, but whoever was king, would show mercy to each other, even
- 9:00to his offspring. A simple and simple day Saul and his son, Jonathan
- 9:13and all the army Israel were in the fight. Unfortunately, Jonathan dies in
- 9:22the midst of battle, leaving a woman and her son a widow. And
- 9:31so was the riot of war, the situation so tremendous and so difficult that
- 9:35Jonathan' s maid and wife took the baby and went and ran. Run
- 9:43that runs you like someone who follows a lot, you have to make film
- 9:48summaries look for it, he sums it up more, he runs you and
- 9:56he falls. I mean, I don' t know if it' s
- 10:00the tower that weighs or what happened, but she' s raised, she
- 10:05falls down and imagine the scene, the tumult of people, because the enemies
- 10:11of Israel were destroying right and left, destroying and this woman carrying Jonathan'
- 10:15s son. It falls off, it goes differently, as they say in
- 10:22my colloquially country, it goes against the planet. He falls and the baby
- 10:28comes out in his arms. The baby' s flying in the air and
- 10:33not and he didn' t take Red Bull because he didn' t have
- 10:35bad jokes. I know. The baby falls and I don' t know
- 10:41how he fell Suddenly he fell on his feet and then he stepped to the
- 10:46ground. The fact is that the damage to the lower extremities of that baby
- 10:50was such that he was crippled for life. Practically the years have passed.
- 11:00Then David became the King of Israel and, in the midst of his journey
- 11:05as king in a moment I imagine it is not written in the Bible,
- 11:09but I imagine that David, in the midst of his opulence, crowned the
- 11:15luxuries and prestige that the king of Israel had had a small lapse and began
- 11:20to think of Jonathan, his friend, a man who died in the war.
- 11:30His relationship was wonderful. More than friends. They were brothers. They
- 11:35were practically not of the same lineage, but they were like brothers and I
- 11:43thought about games, I thought about pilatunas. But in a moment, David
- 11:46would come to think of the oath that was taken with his fellow Jonathan.
- 11:54Hey, it' s true. I imagine David started to think. This
- 12:01king of Israel calls one of his servants, one of his created ones.
- 12:05That man was called Siva and he says listen SibA Mira. I' m
- 12:09going to tell you something assiduous. It turns out that if you remember Jonathan,
- 12:15Saul' s son, yes, sir, I remember Jonathan. Yeah,
- 12:18he went to war that he was a friend of yours. Yes,
- 12:22I think I know and I think my lord was a friend of yours,
- 12:28but he died. He died in battle when his father Saul was King of
- 12:33Israel. Why, sir, what is it that you know that if I
- 12:37went I swore an oath to my friend and I told him to be either
- 12:43of the two on the throne, I would extend mercy to him and his
- 12:48generations. I want you to tell me if my friend Jonathan left offspring,
- 12:56because I don' t think he had full knowledge. There' s someone
- 13:00from my friend Jonathan' s lineage I can use for mercy. Please find
- 13:05out good and if you' re going to find out in the correcor.
- 13:09I do not know how I would do the matter, but at a short
- 13:13time or after time if David is to be introduced and tells my lord His
- 13:18Majesty, according to the records there is a descendant of Jonathan. So where
- 13:33is it, who is it tell me, right now, Your Majesty lives
- 13:39in a place called Bar Lo Bar. I think it translates place of pain.
- 13:45But there is a question with this man, my lord, that this
- 13:50man is crippled by his feet. He can' t walk hard, half,
- 13:54crawls, oh, no matter how, what' s his name and
- 14:01answer Siva, it' s called mefibo seth His Majesty see if he goes
- 14:09look for it, so be it under the stones and bring me that boy.
- 14:13I want to do him justice, because it is a promise that I
- 14:16tell my friend Jonathan to make them the tale less long than it is bring
- 14:20to this man called mephibo thirst and words more words less. David extends his
- 14:26mercy to him, puts him in the same position as the king, et
- 14:31cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Here I go with this that a
- 14:35real friend is the one who' s there at all times. Cover your
- 14:39back, protect and surround you, and that friendship transcends and God does that
- 14:46to us. He knows what material we are made of, God values us
- 14:50very much, he knows how much we are worth, and he will be
- 14:56with us in the beautiful moments, when we write victories, but he will
- 15:01also be with us in the hard, difficult, distressing moments, even in
- 15:07the wakes, perhaps of death and anguish. He' ll be there forever,
- 15:11as long as you don' t let yourself be fooled. Otherwise,
- 15:15know it, but what I have to do, Fernando, because what I
- 15:18have told you in many episodes of mural of the Soul do, friend of
- 15:24God. I repeat, become a friend of God. I do not sell
- 15:26you religion, I say it again for the same time I offer you a
- 15:31relationship with him above, a relationship that is not based on religion or such
- 15:35very much on chairs, ceremonies, or so much liturgy, but a relationship
- 15:41of friends, as Jesus came to teach you when you were here on earth,
- 15:46to your people, to whom you heard it. I do not come
- 15:50to seek servants, Jesus said to his disciples, because the servant has no
- 15:54idea what His lord does, but I call them my friends, because I
- 15:58have made known to them the things of my father, then more than his
- 16:02disciples and he was the rabbi the teacher Jesus had those twelve as his friends.
- 16:10Jesus, those are my dear ones. He is the best friend and
- 16:15as I told him in another episode of the mural of the Soul, on
- 16:18the poster that I saw a few years ago, which Jesus, the friend
- 16:26who never fails, said. I will repeat it and with this I close
- 16:27Jesus, the friend that never, but never will fail us. Give it
- 16:34my name, David Fernandriguera. This reflection of today ends. Thanks for joining
- 16:38me. I invite you to the next one to write together here on the
- 16:42mural of the soul Chao
