Joy isn’t found in the objects that surround us; it’s found in the innermost recesses of the soul. One can possess it as well in a prison as in a palace.

Some one, please, teach me to be more like this man. Every time I get to close to Him, I am literally pushed away. I miss Him. There is no day that He is not in my mind. I slowly become more aware of the actions that I take but it all scares me. I find no greater comfort than in His arms. Some one, please, teach me to be more like this man.
