What is the greatest lesson a friend has taught you?

It wasn't so much a lesson as a reminder.

I was overwhelming myself with guilt, and it eventually threw me into a frenzy. However, God sent Ben at just the right time with a reminder. I can't remember exactly how he phrased it, but it was something to the effect of, "Tyler, we aren't supposed to live with a spirit of guilt. Don't do that to yourself."

And he was definitely right. By His grace, we are free. By no means are we to ABUSE that grace. We, as followers of Christ, are called to live to a high standard, a life guided by the Holy Spirit. However, we are indeed free, and not driven by guilt.

Thanks, Ben.
