The Curate's Awakening by George MacDonald

"Shall I tell you what sometimes seems to me the only thing I want to help me out of all my difficulties?"
"Yes, please," answered Leopold, as humbly as a child.
"I think sometimes, if I could but see Jesus for one moment-"
"Ah!" cried Leopold, and gave a great sigh.
"You would like to see him too, would you?"
"Oh, yes."
"What would you say to him if you saw him?"
"I don't know. I would fall down on my face and hold his feet so he wouldn't go away from me."

"But, as you say, he could pardon that and make me so that I would never, never sin again." (Page 155)

I have but recently begun to search after God myself, and I dare not say that I have found him. But I think I know now where to find him. And I do think, if we could find him, then we would find help. All I can do for you now is only to be near you, and talk to you, and pray to God for you, so that together we may wait for what light may come.
