MAN naturally shrinks from getting into close quarters with God; and oftentimes the seeker after God, through waiting to find within his heart a ground for assurance that he may come to God, remains at a distance from Him. We are not entitled to come to God because we may have a sense within our hearts that we are willing to come, or because we feel graciously inclined; our only ground and title for coming to God is His invitation in His word. And He invites us to Himself just as we are.
