She was going to be okay. I knew she was. She had forever changed my life and I had changed hers. I had heard a soldier once speak of the camaraderie men who fight in battle have with each other. I felt that way with Bathsheba now. She was more than just a name in my Bible, and we’d become more than just friends.Anna Aquino
About This Quote
The Bible is full of stories about people who are devoted to God. They are not interested in serving God for the praise of the world, but because they feel they are serving God for His glory. Their lives are devoted to Him and they know He has a purpose for them. This devotion is one of the most important things we can have as Christians. It shows us what it means to be a true follower of Christ and we should be careful not to lose sight of this important aspect of our faith.
