“If the key ingredient for friends that stumble is love, the key ingredient for friends that stray is truth. All love and no truth is hypocrisy, all truth and no love is brutality. The power is in the balance.” I want that balance for us, I strive for that balance for us XXXX. I thank God for putting on my spirit the will, the passion to see this through. And as much as I do want to be with you XXXX in the romantic way, I know the power of a healthy fulfilling friendship. So I vow this:
“I’m committed to you. You’ll never knowingly suffer at my hands. I’ll never say anything knowingly or do anything knowingly to hurt you. I’ll always in every circumstance seek to support you. If your down and I can lift you up, I’ll do it. Anything I have that you need I’ll share it with you and if I have to, I’ll give it to you. No matter what I find out about you either good or bad, no matter what happens in the future either good or bad, my commitment to you will never change and there’s nothing you can do about that. You don’t have to respond. I love you and that’s what it means.”
A friend, a biblical friend to hold you up when you stumble and straight when you stray.
XXXX, I want a relationship with you that is “ATC,” absolutely totally committed. I wan to be that to you, for you. I want to do this the right way. Absolutely committed – that’s all that I have, totally committed – that’s as long as it takes. I want to communicate love to you XXXX. I never want you to truly be alone. I never want you to be isolated from the one’s who love you. We can grow together. And I do need you in my life to be the man I ought to be. You are so special, unique, and gifted. You’re perfectly crafted by God and it’s a blessing for me to be apart of your life. You are so important to me XXXX, I never want to lose you. I see how smart, kind, bright you are. I see the warmness of your heart. I feel it. I see the peace your soul can bring. I feel it. And I know the healing your spirit holds. So all that I have for as long as it takes I will love you XXXX.
