i found this quote yesterday and i think it's pretty cool.
"In Friendship…we think we have chosen our
peer. In reality a few years’ difference in the dates of our births, a
few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university
instead of another…the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at
a first meeting—any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for
a Christian, there are, strictly speaking, no chances.
A
secret Master of Ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the
disciples, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,” can truly say
to every group of Christian friends “You have not chosen one another,
but I have chosen you for one another.” The Friendship is not a reward
for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is
the instrument by which God reveals to each the beauties of others."
--C.S. Lewis
interesting thought, right? i've often felt like certain people come into my life at a certain point for a certain reason, partly so that i can learn from their goodness. happy wednesday :)
