Near to Jesus

the happiest we will ever be is when we are near to Jesus

the saddest we will ever be is when we are near to Jesus

the most courageous when we are closest to Jesus

the most afraid when we are closest to Jesus

the strongest we will ever be is when we are close to Jesus

the weakest we will ever be is when we are close to Jesus

the most clarity we will ever have is when we are close to Jesus

the most confused we will ever feel is when we are close to Jesus

the greatest love we will ever know is when we are close to Jesus

the greatest hate we will ever encounter from the world is when we are close to Jesus

St. Teresa of Avila said that God's closest friends experience the greatest trouble

St. Pio said to stay in the boat He has placed us in when trouble comes, "don't worry" he says

St. Paul said he gloried in the cross of Christ and counted the sufferings of this world as nothing compared to knowing Jesus.

in Him we live, move, and have our being,

in Jesus, our Beloved

Glory!
