We had a lovely dinner last night with some good friends. It was very refreshing to be reminded from those conversations, a bit more about who I am. I know from Genesis 1:27 that I'm made in God's image, but it takes feedback from good friends to remind me of that.
It was nice to honestly share our feelings, our frustrations, our joys, and to know that we'll get together again in the future and look back (with new struggles) on when these present times seemed so important.
That reassurance is wonderful, it's creative, it's dynamic and vital. I am writing this down to remind myself, lest I ever forget and be tempted to pride and self-sufficiency, that without friends, my outlook is bleaker, it's hollower, it echoes with loneliness, I forget the image that God has placed in me.
With those friends, I know a bit more about who I am, and how to live today with great hope for the promise of tomorrow.
