Not Far to Go
Here’s a little gem from Amy Carmichael. It reminds me of every child’s question, “Are we there yet?”
Not Far to Go
It is not far to go,

For Thou are here;
And not by traveling, Lord,
We come to Thee,
But by the way of love;
And we love Thee.Amy Carmichael, Mountain Breezes: The Collected Poems of Amy Carmichael, p. 16. © 1999, The Dohnavur Fellowship, published by Christian Literature Crusade. First published in Edges of His Ways (1955) and Gold Cord (1932)
