Gladness.

The gladness in the heart comes when you know of another person who shares the same thoughts (looks at the world in a similar way) as you do. Not the superficial "life is hard" kind, but at a much deeper level. Thank God for like-minded people who are placed around me whom I can turn to and talk about things, and being asked the hard questions (which is what gets me going). Yes, and if I do believe that Christ is all, I should live as such.
