“In friendship...we think we have chosen our peers. In reality a few years' difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles be-tween certain houses, the choice of one university instead of anoth-er...the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meet-ing—any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples, ‘Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,’ can truly say to every group of Christian friends, ‘Ye have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another.’ The friendship is not a re-ward for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others.” - C.S. Lewis
