Three-year-old Carla was helping her mother deliver newspapers.

"Let me do one," she begged.

So the mother drove her pickup to a box on Carla's side, and Carla leaned out of the window. But she leaned too far, and fell to the ground.

Terrified, the mother jumped out of the cab and picker her up. And she cried, "Mom, you didn't get close enough!"

You and I live in two worlds. We get so busy making a living that we don't make any overtures to the Lord. And we fall. Why?

Like the girl said, "You didn't get close enough."

The Bible says, "Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart."
