I asked for peace You offered your presence. I asked for hope You came to my side. I asked for joy You lit my journey. I asked for love You gave me yourself.
Ideally, friendships lead us into deeper communion with each other; those we love mirror the divine reality and so draw us closer to the One they reflect. In our humanness, however, we can forget that the friend is only a reflection of God and instead invest ultimate meaning in the relationship.
