My Dear Hemlock

by Tilly Dillehay

She loves, not holiness itself, but the idea of holiness. She loves the idea of becoming more respectable, more knowledgeable, more fruitful, more righteous. It’s a love of progress, of dignity, of potential, of “growth.” She still rarely fixes her thoughts on Him. At her best, she is engrossed with the idea of herself being more engrossed with Him.
