"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
To feel close to Him,
To have all the good He has to give
But the path there is one --
The one given us all
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)
Loving and living what Jesus said,
We can't help feeling our
heavenly Father's presence,
His indescribable love for us.
