Do You Want to Feel Close to God?

"I've never once felt close to God"


Someone 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?)


Our loving Father does want


Us to feel close to Him,


To have all the good


He yearns 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"
Our Lord and Master said.


          (John 14:6)


Take the teachings of Jesus,


Love them, live them,


And you can't help


But feel close to God.


Nothing concerns our


Health and safety,


Our over all well-being


More than this.
