What need, Lord, of strength when you are present? When I have sought to draw near to you?
Close to you, cool water flows sweetly, refreshing breeze lifts, friendly sun beams. The field to plow, the garden plot to tend, the porch to sweep — all fade into minutiae.
Close to you, Lord, I have infinite energy.
Let me seek to be close to you.
(Letter #3,929)
