A missionary's son, nearly five years of age, had been born & brought up in India and had seen no near relatives except his parents.
One day he said to his mother, “I love my grandpa.”
“How can that be, my son?” replied his mother, “You have
never seen him & how can you love him?”
“But,” said the child, “doesn't he send us letters and
doesn't he sends presents for my birthday & at Christmas and aren't we
going on the big steamship soon to see him?”
“Although you have
never seen Christ, you love him. You don’t see him now, but you believe in him.
You are extremely happy with joy and praise that can hardly be expressed in
words.” (1 Pet 1:8)

seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.” - Helen Keller.
