His gaze became serious and intensified as he added, You are amazing. Besides, the Bible says when we are weak, God is strong. You’re much stronger than you think, and one day you will realize that. It angered me at the time, but the memory turned out to be an everlastingly sweet one. I smiled at his comment, remembering how he volunteered to take my place as a hostage just so he could keep me safe. You rushed in there without any fear for yourself. I saw it when I was in the bank being held hostage. You have a deep strength that you don’t even realize you have. I would never have made that decision if it weren’t for you.
