When you have the chance, choose friends who breathe the air of grace.
Grace doesn’t make them better golfers, but you’ll want their gentleness when you earn that triple bogey on the 8th.
Grace doesn’t make friends wise or witty, but they’ll know to put an arm around you when you’re hurting or discouraged, for God has laid His hands on them.
Grace doesn’t turn friends into counselors, but they can lead you through forgiveness when you’ve blown it big and can’t see daylight up ahead. “For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And He gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation” (2 Cor 5:19).
Grace doesn’t give conversation skills, but they’ll stay with you—and not let go—when others would go running for the exits. They’ve heard God say in seasons of deep loneliness: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness” (Jer 31:3).
Friends who live the grace of God bring hope and kindness on the journey. Keep choosing them.
And stay in grace. -Bill Knott
