Let nothing disturb thee, nothing affright thee; All things are passing; God never changeth; Patient endurance Attaineth to all things; Who God possesseth, In nothing is wanting; Alone God sufficeth.
If we are committed in our lives to the force of lovingkindness, then people know that they can trust us. We will not deceive them; we will not harm them. By being a beacon of trustworthiness in this world, we become a safe haven for others. We become a good friend to people, and can experience the JOY of intimacy with life.
