““I pondered her life, I realized that when I am in the presence of someone who really walks with God, there is evidence of life, joy, goodness, well-being, grace, and faith. When one is washed with the unconditional love, grace, and mercy of God, the result is peace and thankfulness of heart. The few people who really exhibit the life of the Lord certainly aren’t above discouragement or humanity, but there is a palpable sense of peace in their walk with God, having made a decision to trust Him through the ups and downs of life. My godly friends provide a sense of security for me, because I know their sails have been set toward the King and His kingdom. I can trust that their integrity will lead them in the right direction, because Jesus is at the helm. I feel a rest in my relationship with them, because I know I am safe in the hands of mature, seasoned lovers of God who will love and accept me and point me to Him gently as we walk this road of life in fellowship.””
