A little girl of six was going along the road alone one day, when she heard a peal of thunder. Now this little girl was rather afraid of thunder, and she was beginning to be so frightened when she suddenly said to herself,
“But I am not alone, for the Lord Jesus is with me,” and this thought comforted her and chased away her fear.
Do you know the Lord Jesus as One who is always with you, as the little girl did? He says to His own—those who belong to Him.
“Lo, I am with you alway.”
How wonderful to have the Lord Jesus ever with us to shield and comfort us, no matter where we are or what trouble we are in. We shall always find Him a true Friend in need, One who is over able and willing to help us. Yes, He can help us, for He said, “All power is given unto Me and He loves to help those who trust Him.
Now I wonder if you know Him—this faithful Friend—or are you still a stranger to Him? If you are, you need be se no longer, for He is longing to bless you He died to put away your sins, so that there might be nothing to hinder you being in His presence forever. Now He wants you to trust Him, first as your Saviour, the One who died for you, and then as your Shepherd and Friend, who will take care of you all through life’s journey till He has you at Home in His own presence.
Then if you are ever afraid, don’t forget that the Lord Jesus is near to comfort and help you, and He knows those who trust in Him. May you be able to say,
