How I long to be...

Some things that resonated with me from morning prayers and readings today...

"Happy are those who hear the word in a spirit of openness; they shall bear fruit through perseverance." - Luke 23:46

"...We pray daily in sheer felicity, in communion, in close contact with the Father, asking nothing whatever but the joy of knowing Him."
- Fulton Oursler (quoted in Conversation with Christ, p. 62)

"When I found your words, I devoured them; they became my joy and the happiness of my heart,
Because I bore your name, O Lord, God of hosts." - Jer 15:16
