Commitment to God. From the moment we began to work together, Beth and I discovered a similar commitment. We share a passion for the Word of God and for people—especially for people with hurts.

God has a task for you—one He planned very long ago and suited for our present generation. Remember you are not responsible for completing anyone else's task, just yours. God desires for us to encourage one another in our tasks (see Heb. 10:24—25), but we are responsible only for completing our own.

Godly accountability is never codependency.

The Lord God has given Me the tongue of those who are instructed to know how to sustain the weary with a word. Isaiah 50:4

Thank You, Lord, for giving me the right kind of companions.

If God is not an active part in your friendships, you are missing one of life's most important treasures.

Nor am I "leading" in any way that the military manuals would recognise or commend. I'm just slogging miserably beside the others. But we are one, each giving his all. I catch a second wind, and I feel my brothers-in-arms catch theirs too. By
