There is only one right way, and that is with the sense in your soul that you have a need which none but He can meet. Don’t get occupied with the act of coming. Look at that poor weak woman in the Gospels, elbowing her way through the crowd until she was able to stoop down and touch the hem of His garment. What was her heart occupied with? Not with the actual coming, but with the Person she is bent upon reaching. All other help had failed, and if another and more able physician had met her on the road, she had nothing to pay his fee. “She had spent all her living.” But she had “heard of Jesus,” and she believed that He was as able to heal the most hopeless as He was willing to heal the most helpless. Filled with the thought that to reach Him would be healing and health, and that missing Him would leave her hopelessly incurable for the remainder of her days, she pressed forward till that timid touch brought all that her heart could wish for. What a circuitous path it must have been in that pressing crowd! No other could have come exactly by the same way. But, thank God, since then tens of thousands have come to the same Person, saying —
Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee.
Without Thee I perish forever,
But Thou wilt “in no wise cast out.”
To Thee “O Lamb of God, I come.
Welcome they all have been, none were denied.
