Drawing Nigh
It seemed I "spent time" looking in the mirror
And admiring the "spiritual" Christian I saw.
"What a worshipful attitude!
What spiritual thirst!
What unquestionable humility!
Now God'll HAVE to show Himself to me.
After all, doesn't it say in God's Word,
'Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to Thee'?"
And then it dawned on me:
God was probably sickened at the sight of the saint at the mirror;
And He was saying, "Hurry up and
Really look at Me;
"Spend time" with Me...
That I could show Myself to you."
God never said, "Draw nigh to thy mirror."
