Letter 4477
As I walk and walk these lands — what drives me to do so?
As I daily devote these hours to you, Lord — what drives me?
It is not desperation that impels me to walk so far, nor grasping for something found at the end of the journey.
Nor is it mere habit that drives me to my front room each morning to think on you and write of what I find.
❖
You are never far, I need only draw near, or try to, and you lean back in my direction.
These are my devotions, Lord, which draw me near to you.
Let me draw near.
Consider:
Can I draw nearer to you today?
