tears


Acts 20:36-38
[after Paul has said goobye to the ephesians] "When he had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed. They all wept as they embraced him and kissed him. What grieved them most was his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship."

The situation with Dave leaving was one I hadn't really been in before - everyone crying and saying goodbye - and it reminded me of this passage (except for the fact that we will see Dave again). If that's how people can love each other, how much more can/does God love? Its ridiculous.

Dave has been a great example of someone striving to live like Jesus - he showed love to everyone, he would not compromise on following the word of God, and his integrity was unquestionable. All stuff I need to remember.
