“If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them.” C S. Lewis

 Jesus invites us to His joy. Everyone is free to reject His offer. This is central to His joy, for at the heart of His offer is the joy of being freely united to Him. Everything about love is, and must be an expression of the freedom of our will to choose.
