God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Perhaps the most blessed characteristic of this Christian experience of fellowship with God is its inalienability. It cannot be lost... When I realize that some joy will never come to an end, that realization in itself is a joy and accentuates the original joy, just as thinking that a present joy will come to an end is a disturbance and that disturbance detracts from the present joy itself.
