Where the world comes to study the Bible

The Comfort of a Friend

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts, nor measure words, but to pour them all out just as they are, chaff and grain together knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

George Eliot, quoted in Today in the Word, July, 1989, p. 28
