Who brings out the best in you?

How aware are you of the people who bring out the best in you?
Who are they?
How do you seek their company?
What are their qualities?
What exactly do they do to make you blossom?
How do they build you up?
How do they draw you to them, seemingly effortlessly?

There are times when these kind of people are abundant, like a rich harvest season, with warm winds, ripe fruit and abundance of grain. Times of growth, when you feel your heart thawing, your arms stretching, your muscles strengthening, and you feel that you can conquer the world. They speak truth in your ears and heart. And you grow tall and strong.

And there are times of blizzards, with harsh winds and freezing temperatures, when all you can do is lower your head to cover your face from the whipping winds, and push ahead, marching through snow, with determination. Filtering what you hear. Searching your heart. Asking God to search your heart. Praying for guidance and strength from Above. And seek the company of people who warm up your soul, even during winter times.
