Ask

Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.--John 16:24

Nothing in our thought about God should produce sadness or depression; rather, it should do quite the reverse, because our faith in and love of God should give us such a confidence and such a sense of security that we should indeed be able to say: "Joy to the world, the Lord has come."

We must come to realize that God is not in some far-off place, but instead that God is an inward, intimate Presence closer to us than our very own breath. God is not nor can ever be separated from us, but too often we separate ourselves from God.
