Simple

'Drew and I chatted for quite some time last night. At one point I observed to him that it is a very remarkable thing to me that the LORD has blessed us with such a friendship, for though our friendship is deep, it is, at the same time, exceedingly -- and joyfully -- simple, not at all complicated. Neither of us expects anything from the other, yet, at the same time, we expect everything. How so? It's because in the gospel, we are stripped of everything, yet in the gospel, we are given everything. In other words, while our expectations here on earth are squashed to the dust, our eyes and hearts are granted glimpses and yearnings of heaven in order to stir the eternal and infinite hope that we have in Christ. We've each come to see this in the other through the years, and I think it safe to say that we've each become more and more grateful as those years have gone by.
