"Oh, the fullness, pleasure, sheer excitement of knowing God on Earth!Â I care not if I never raise my voice again for Him, if only I may love Him, please Him.Â Mayhap in mercy He shall give me a host of children that I may lead them through the vast star fields to explore His delicacies whose finger ends set them to burning.Â But if not, if only I may see Him, touch His garments, smile into His eyes - ah then, not stars nor children shall matter, only Himself."

-- Jim Elliot
