following up on my previous post, here is a quote from Eugene Peterson's "Leap over a Wall"

"the greatest thing any person can do for another is to confirm the deepest thing in him, in her - to take time and have discernment to see what's most deeply there, most fully that person, and then confirm it by recognizing and encouraging it"

i've been trying to apply this idea to my relationships. it's revolutionary for me.
