" The Lord is nigh unto all that call upon him in truth." - Psalms 145:18.

That call upon him not because they think it a decorous thing, not as an act of homage merely, but because they need what he alone can give, and believe that he will give it to them, if they ask wisely and in faith.

They call upon him in truth, who make nothing of themselves, everything of Christ. They call upon him in truth, who overlook none of his attributes, but view him as his word reveals him. " If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.''

We bring God nigh to us by banishing falsehood from us, by making room for the truth in our hearts. " If any man love me he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and will come unto him and make his abode with him."
