All Blissfulness

The Lord is all blissfulness. He is the reality behind all that exists, He is the goodness, the truth in everything. 
You are His incarnations. That is what is glorious. 

The nearer you are to Him, the less you will have occasions to cry or weep. The further we are from Him, the more will long faces come. The more we know of Him, the more misery vanishes. 
If one who lives in the Lord becomes miserable, what is the use of living in Him? What is the use of such a God? Throw Him overboard into the Pacific Ocean! We do not want Him!
