Zieme\u013crietumu Anglij\u0101, net\u0101lu no Skotijas robe\u017eas, dz\u012bvo k\u0101ds sp\u0113c\u012bgs, bet
\nmaigas dabas gans. M\u0113s dzird\u0113j\u0101m, ka nesen vi\u0146\u0161 k\u013cuvis par kristieti. T\u0101 m\u0113s
\nnol\u0113m\u0101m aizdoties un uzzin\u0101t, kas pamudin\u0101jis vi\u0146u pie\u0146emt \u0161\u0101du l\u0113mumu.
\nAr sava labi apm\u0101c\u012bt\u0101 su\u0146a pal\u012bdz\u012bbu vi\u0146\u0161 veda gan\u0101mpulku lejup no kalna
\nm\u016bsu virzien\u0101. Tad m\u0113s noraudz\u012bj\u0101mies tr\u012bn\u012b\u0161u dzemd\u012bb\u0101s un apbr\u012bnoj\u0101m, cik
\nprasm\u012bgi vi\u0146\u0161 apr\u016bp\u0113ja gan m\u0101ti, gan tr\u012bs jaundzimu\u0161os j\u0113ri\u0146us. T\u0101 nu, ganam
\nst\u0101vot un turot rok\u0101s vienu no daudzajiem j\u0113riem, kuru dzemd\u012bbas vi\u0146\u0161 pie\u0146em
\nkatru gadu, man bija iesp\u0113ja pajaut\u0101t, k\u0101 vi\u0146\u0161 nol\u0113ma k\u013c\u016bt tic\u012bgs.
\n\u201cT\u0101 bija mana draudzene Alise,\u201d vi\u0146\u0161 nor\u0101d\u012bja uz k\u0101du sievieti ar p\u0101rsteidzo\u0161i
\ndraudz\u012bgu seju.
\n\u201cPast\u0101sti mums, ko vi\u0146a t\u0101du izdar\u012bja,\u201d es l\u016bdzu.
\n\u201cVi\u0146a vienk\u0101r\u0161i izvad\u012bja mani cauri B\u012bbelei, un es to pie\u0146\u0113mu.\u201d
\nM\u0113s par Alisi uzzin\u0101j\u0101m ko vair\u0101k. Vi\u0146a bija izlas\u012bjusi visas se\u0161desmit se\u0161as
\ngr\u0101matas un bija iem\u012bl\u0113jusi taj\u0101s att\u0113loto Dievu. Vi\u0146a bija diezgan akt\u012bva sav\u0101
\nnelielaj\u0101 lauku draudz\u0113 un m\u0113dza pa reizei pat sludin\u0101t, kad m\u0101c\u012bt\u0101js bija de-
\nvies prom. Nesen vi\u0146a man ats\u016bt\u012bja savu sv\u0113trunu par labo ganu. Mana sieva
\napgalvoja, ka t\u0101 ir lab\u0101k\u0101 sv\u0113truna, k\u0101du vi\u0146a ir dzird\u0113jusi par \u0161o t\u0113mu.
\nViena no patiesa Dieva drauga paz\u012bm\u0113m ir r\u016bpes par m\u016bsu debesu Drauga
\nlabo slavu. \u0100brah\u0101ms, Mozus un \u012ajabs \u2013 visi par\u0101d\u012bja \u012bpa\u0161u lojalit\u0101ti. T\u0101pat ar\u012b
\nAlise. Vi\u0146\u0101 grib\u0113ja, lai cilv\u0113ki ierauga Dievu t\u0101du, k\u0101ds Vi\u0146\u0161 ir, un tas savuk\u0101rt
\nbija uzrun\u0101jis gana sirdi.
\nEsmu iev\u0113rojis, ka Dieva draugiem \u012bpa\u0161i r\u016bp, lai Vi\u0146a b\u0113rni saskat\u012btu Diev\u0101
\nsavu draugu. P\u0113c tam, kad bij\u0101m paviesoju\u0161ies daudz\u0101s tuk\u0161\u0101s Lielbrit\u0101nijas

\ndievkalpojuma ar mani parun\u0101ties.
\n\u201cKo j\u016bs grib\u0113tu satikt pirmo, kad j\u016bs non\u0101ksiet debes\u012bs, \u2013 Dievu T\u0113vu vai

\nBez vilcin\u0101\u0161an\u0101s viena no meiten\u0113m atbild\u0113ja: \u201c \u201cNav jau nek\u0101das starp\u012bbas.<\/p>\n
113
\nJ\u0113zus ta\u010du teica: \u201cKas Mani ir redz\u0113jis, Tas ir redz\u0113jis T\u0113vu.\u201d\u201d Es iedom\u0101jos, vai
\ntikai k\u0101ds no Dieva draugiem nav pal\u012bdz\u0113jis \u0161ai attap\u012bgajai, jaunajai meitenei.
\nKad jaut\u0101ju, ko vajadz\u0113tu dar\u012bt, lai cer\u012bbu zaud\u0113ju\u0161os cilv\u0113kus atgrieztu
\ndraudz\u0113, da\u017ei atbild, ka \u0161iem \u0161aub\u012bgajiem vajadz\u0113tu izbeigt uzdot tik daudz
\njaut\u0101jumu un vair\u0101k par\u0101d\u012bt tic\u012bbu. Da\u017ei pat piemin br\u012bdin\u0101jumu no V\u0113stu-
\nles ebrejiem: \u201cBez tic\u012bbas Dievam nevar patikt.\u201d (Ebr. 11:6) Man t\u0101s ir kalpu
\nrunas. Un tie\u0161i \u0161\u0101da veida attieksme ir t\u0101, kas tik daudzus pasaules cilv\u0113kus ir
\nnov\u0113rsusi no Dieva.
\nDieva draugi grib zin\u0101t, k\u0101p\u0113c t\u0101di cilv\u0113ki k\u0101 Lorena un vi\u0146as \u0123imene dom\u0101,

\ntiek lietota nesaprotama valoda.
\nJa m\u016bsdien\u0101s J\u0113zus b\u016btu \u0161eit, Vi\u0146\u0161 aizietu pie Lorenas un vienk\u0101r\u0161\u0101, saprota-
