Prayer: Augustine of Hippo
O
God, there is a joy that is granted to those who worship you for your own sake
and for whom you yourself are joy. This is the happy life, to rejoice over you
and because of you.
That is true friendship with God - loving God and not expecting anything in return other than knowing that God loves us - just enjoying being together at all times.
