Wow! This week I have been reading Spiritual Friendship by Aelred of Revelux and it's something that I have never really thought about before. The true act of friendship and what it looks like and having Christ at the center of those friendships. Friendship is not something that I have really entered into with a specific purpose. It has just kind of happened, and I've never gone deeper into what true spiritual friendship should be. One of the things that caught me by surprise was that Aelred said at one point in his life he knew he wasn't fit to be somebody's friend. That we need to have things in our life in a place where we are able to be a friend. I've never thought that before. I am looking forward to reading further to see what else comes to the surface.
