If you have visited a convalescent home, you know that this plea is serious. Some patients make friends among their fellow-sufferers and some among the staff, but many spend day after day craving a visit from family or friends to take the edge off their loneliness. All the patients seem to wait for someone to come along, but they become animated when they are expecting someone who has promised to come. They look out the windows and doors, and walk the halls with a newfound briskness in their step. Three devils got together one day to compare techniques.
People are too smart for that.
They look around and they see how intricate and marvelous the universe is, and they know that there is a God. People are too smart for that too. They look into the Bible and see how wise and holy and helpful it is, and they know that it comes from heaven. I tell people that there is a God and that the Bible does come from heaven. And that works.
