Because when one truly seeks God, when you really want to feel his companionship, the companionship of the Spirit, you know that something is missing in your life.
I remember that there was a time when I felt alone. And even though everything around me was fine-my family, my studies, in short, everything-I told the missionaries who came to visit, why does one sometimes feel alone?
And the missionaries said, perhaps it’s a lack of the Spirit. And I kept thinking, that’s true, that is what my life needs, to be closer to God. So at that time, despite the challenges I had had, I was able to seek God, I was able to draw closer to him, and I knew I should always remain there, closer to Him.
So, from that moment I have fought to remain firm. And up to this point that is what I have done.
