   In God's presence is "fullness of joy".     John 16:24

   In God's presence is "abundant life".      John 10:10

   Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.  For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. 

Matt 18:19-20
