"Never take for granted My intimate nearness. Marvel at the wonder of My continual Presence with you. Even the most ardent human lover cannot be with you always. Nor can another person know the intimacies of your heart, mind, and spirit. I know everything about you--even to the number of hairs on your head. You don't need to work at reavealing yourself to Me.
"Many people spend a lifetime or a small fortune searching for someone who understands them. Yet I am freely available to all who call upon my name, who open their hearts to receive Me as Savior. This simple act of faith is the beginning of a lifelong love story. I, the Lover of your soul, understand you perfectly and love you eternally."
In case you want to look into this some more, the reference verses/verses that go along with the text were Luke 12:7, John 1:12, and Romans 10:13. Enjoy and have a great day!

Some interesting things I've learned about Spain (sorry I haven't done this in a while!):
- Spanish is a pretty formal(/cheesy) language when you directly translate things, and this is a point of humor for some of my friends and I. For example, when identifying yourself on the phone or at the door you say what is basically the equivalence of, "It is I, <insert your name here>." Also, when you first meet someone, instead of saying "It's nice to meet you" like any good American, we say, "Enchanted". I think it would be fun to bring that one back to the states but I think if you pulled that, everyone would think you were a creeper.
- Although sometimes Spaniards don't understand our sarcasm (Americans are actually very sarcastic, we love irony), they are all about exaggerating things. One day last week when our Spanish Literature Professor was describing our exam, she told us we would be given 3 options for essays and we could select two and "abandon" the other.
