stay always by my side

Thus says your Beloved “I am your salvation” your peace and your life. Stay always by my side and you will find peace. Cast away all the goods of time and seek those of eternity. For what are these passing things but snares for your soul? And how far could all created beings serve you, if you were forsaken by the Creator? Leave, then, all earthly things and offer yourself to God as a good and faithful servant, that so you may gain for yourself the only true happiness. Thomas a Kempis
