TITLE: SMALL BOY JUST WANTED TO BE NEAR HIS FATHER! --

A small boy who was very fond of his father loved to join him wherever he went. One day while his dad was engaged in intensive study, the youngster tapped at his office door.

"Well, my little man, what do you want now?"

"Nothing, Daddy, I just want to be near you."

Receiving permission to come in, the boy made his way to a far corner of the room and sat quietly for a long time. He was content just to be alone with his father.

I wonder, is this the kind of love we have toward God? Do we often go to the Savior, even when we don't want anything, just to be near Him? If we abide in close fellowship with Christ, we will be greatly blessed and bear rich and abundant "fruit."
