If I had a best friend, someone I could share myself with unmasked, who would accept me entirely just as I am and who cared to truly see me. If I was brave enough, if I was bold enough, if I could trust even just one person enough…to share my faith in the Lord, my faith in them, to share my most glorious thoughts and my most painful feelings, even about them…and still have the confidence in them, that they would accept me through my purest honesty. If I were to write them from the deepest part of my heart and soul everyday…

It may look like this blog, like these posts, each inspired by them, our friendship, my love for them, my faith in them and the faith they have shared with me, my admiration for them, the confidence I have in them, how no matter what happens in life and no matter what time of day…I want them to call or text if they need somebody or just want to talk, no matter the distance or the silence I am here for them always, how because of them I know the Lord better than I ever have and how grateful I am for that…

…but since I am not so courageous and I’m not so bold. Since I fear they would feel judged instead of loved and accepted, since that too would be my own fear. I would just wish them a good morning, a pleasant day and a restful night, and sum up all my faith in God, in everything I am and in everything they are to me in these simple words…

Keep smiling, you’re worth it!

Always Yours
