Jesus said fasting is an aid to prayer. He likened His presence with us to a wedding feast. John had introduced Him as the bridegroom. His first miracle had been at a wedding. No life brings joy like the Christian life.
Salvation is just the start of it.
Each step in the Christian walk brings new cause for rejoicing. The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows. The more that I love Him more love He bestows. Each day is like Heaven, my heart overflows. The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.
