Self-sufficiency is the enemy of salvation. If you are self-sufficient, you have no need of God. If you have no need of God, you do not seek Him. If you do not seek Him, you will not find Him.

Here I am going to say something which may come as a bit of a shock. God doesn't necessarily want us to be happy. He wants us to be lovable. Worthy of love. Able to be loved by Him. We don't start off being all that lovable, if we're honest. What makes people hard to love? Isn't it what is commonly called selfishness? Selfish people are hard to love because so little love comes out of them.

-Mi, hátramaradottak, utadra bocsátunk. Sok év rabság vaskapujáról leverve a lakat. Menj hát szabadon a gyönyörű országba. Bocsáss meg nekünk, e befelhőzött világon szenvedőknek. Vezess bennünket, várj bennünket, ahogyan mi téged várunk. Még viszontlátjuk egymást.

- Ma indulok veled utamon. - Együtt mondják, hangjukat szárnyra kapja a hideg levegő. - Ahová mégy, oda megyek én is. Ahol megállsz, megállok én is. Amikor alszol, én is alszom. Amikor felkelsz, én is felkelek. Hangod hangzásában töltöm napjaimat, kezed érintésében éjszakáimat. És nem állhat közénk senki sem.
