Only in Him do we find salvation and true joy. When God created us, He made us to be partakers of His happiness. This is an absolute truth. Let us awaken to this truth: God is always close to us.<br \/>\nHe calls us and helps us to seek Him, to know Him and to love Him with all our might. Jesus offers himself to us: &#8220;If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. Hethat believeth on me&#8230; our from within him shall flow rivers of living water&#8221; (Jn 7, 37-38). So I ask: are we always close to God? Because He is always with us.<br \/>\nLord, to whom would we turn? You alone have the words of eternal life.
