Fight Night

In Michael Haykin's Rediscovering The Church Fathers, he includes a quote by Gregory Nazianzus commenting on the unique relationship he shared with Basil of Caesarea. Blessed to know what this feels like.

"In studies, in lodgings, in discussions I had him as companion... We had all things in common.... But above all it was God, of course, and a mutual desire for higher things, that drew us to each other. As a result we reached such a pitch of confidence that we revealed the depths of our hearts, becoming ever more united in our yearning."

I want more relationships like this. Fascinating that the Spirit continues to draw fellow sojourners in Christ together like this through the centuries. Same root. Same joy.
