It is hard to tell just what these children are doing, but they are busy with something that seems quite interesting.
Whether they are collecting pebbles, shells, or seaweed, or getting mud for mudpies, it is hard to say. But it represents the story of life,—your life, and mine. We are all looking for —seeking something.
Many are looking for pleasure. Others spend much time searching for knowledge.
But some day our need and desire for all these things will be over, for we can not carry them with us when we leave this world.
There is something, however, that can give us joy and blessing both in this life and in the life to come. This treasure we should all accept, if we have riot already done so.
“God cominandeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom, 5:8.
Dear young reader, if you do not already know Jesus as your Saviour, believe in Him now.
