You're doing something to me that no philosophy, no theory, no field of thought in all its splendour of abstraction has been able to do to me... you're making me feel. All throughout this life and faith journey, all these years, I've been fixated on how God must think and how we must think like him. Now you're driving me to experience how God must feel. You're driving me to a measure of vulnerability deeper than I could ever imagine I would experience.

I tread this path with deep fear and caution - not because of you - but because of what I might discover as you bring out the hidden sides of me. I can only hope and pray that these hidden sides reveal themselves to be as beautiful as the visible sides you have come to love.

I often wonder if perhaps God has given you to me not because I'm to be your pillar of strength, but rather, because you're chosen to be the bringer of strength into my life. But it's all rather illusive, you see, because you approach me with so much vulnerability and weakness. You seem so delicate that I fear I'll break you. But the miracle is that in seeking strength from me, I find myself being strengthened just enough to cover you.

With you, I feel both strong and weak at the same time. Perhaps this is reflective of just how our faith journey should be - approaching God and finding strength in weakness. Could it be that you and I are a symbiotic reflection of divine friendship?

For when I am weak, then I am strong.
