Extract: To Be Near the Lord

 
Read the Bible with prayer, seek the Lord there, and not knowledge. That will come too, but the heart is well directed in seeking the Lord, the eye is single, and the whole body is full of light.
My earnest desire is that you may be very near the Lord, and the Lord very near to you. “Be not conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of your minds,” “Christ is all,” and the more one travels on down here in His ways, the more one feels it.
