Drawing nigh* to the Lord Who to me reaches down Offering blessings’ opportunities for service opulence Welcoming my heart for revival against weariness Now, I bid adieu to months dwindling down, toward year’s newness. *James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you… October 9, 2020 1st place, "Pick-A-Title, Vol 23 - Seasonal Acrostic" Contest Sponsored by Edward Ibeh; judged on 10/12/2020.
