It's like the first moment you realize, "Oh, here's a friend" towards someone you've been acquainted with for a long time, but never really had the time to get to know.
Mumford & Sons, hello.
I'm sure I've come heard them in passing, and kept walking without looking back. And then Joel Ramsey (from Citipointe Church, Australia) mentioned them, asking if I knew them, and I said that I didn't. I'll probably message him soon and tell him I'm starting to.

And there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears. / And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears. / Get over your hill and see what you find there, / with grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.
I nod in appreciation. Music, thank you for enriching my life.
Dear Lord, thank you for giving me life, and life in full.
Here's to standing, only by His grace, after the storm.
(And my friends are going through storms right now, and I don't know, I don't know, but I hope this song can be of encouragement.)
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. - 1 John 4:10
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. - 1 John 4: 16-18
We love because he first loved us. - 1 John 4:19
