Lord, who hast taught to us on earth
This lesson from above,
That all our works are nothing worth,
Unless they spring from love;
Send down thy Spirit from on high,
And pour in all our hearts
That precious gift of charity,
Which peace and joy imparts.

-Charles Wesley

A true friend is one who is concerned about
what we are becoming,
 who sees beyond the present relationship,
 and who cares deeply about us as a whole person.

We are all travelers in what John Bunyan calls the wilderness of this world, and the best that we find in our travels is an honest friend.  He or she is a fortunate voyager who finds many.  We travel indeed to find them.  They are the end and the reward of life.  They keep us worthy of ourselves; and when we are alone, we are only nearer to the absent.
-Robert Louis Stevenson

I lift up my soul.

Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in You.
Show me the way I should go,
for to You I lift up my soul.

Psalm 143:8

To have a friend...to be a friend...

To have a friend is to have one of the sweetest gifts that life can bring;

to be a friend is to have a solemn and tender education of soul from day to day.

Our road will be smooth and untroubled no matter what care life may send;

If we travel the pathway together, and walk side by side with a friend.

-Henry Van Dyke

A living, loving God can ...

A living, loving God can and does make His presence felt, can and does speak to us in the silence of our hearts, can and does warm and caress us till we no longer doubt that He is near, that He is here.
