To Bring God to the World*

"I've never once felt close to God"
A friend confided recently --
An amazing thing to hear
For those of us who do.
Could this be the problem,
That she, like so many others,
Are trying to find peace and joy
While leaving Christ Jesus out,
Whose essential role they doubt
(If they even think about it at all)?
God does want His children close to Him --
To have all the good He has to give.
But the path there is one --
The one given the world
By His beloved Son.


"I am the way, the truth, and the life:
No man cometh unto the Father,
But by me"
Said our Lord and Master dear.
          (John 14:6)
