"The joy of the Lord is not like the crackling of thorns under a pot, which makes a great noise and blaze for a while, but soon go out; but it is like the burning of a lamp, which keeps in the flame and light, even and constant. It is not like the joys of the world, which are like the bubbles on the face of the water, that break and vanish as soon as they appear. True joy in the Lord is like a fountain, always running, always refreshing those that come to it."
