I confide to you a secret which has made my life on earth an anticipated Heaven: the belief that a Being Whose name is Love is dwelling within us at every moment of the day and night, and that He asks us to live in His company.

Live in the Spirit…
Live wholly according to the Spirit, live quietly in peace, have perfect confidence that God will help you.
