MANY of our little readers know something about country life, and the pleasure of being out in the fields scattered with daisies on a sunny day. No doubt, you have often been much interested in the turkeys, as they plumed themselves, spreading their fanlike tails in the sunshine. You know turkeys wander away from home, and therefore have to be watched.
There were two little girls in the country, who loved father and mother dearly, and were wishful to help them, for their parents had much to do, so they were sent into the field to care for a flock of turkeys. They loved their work, and always appeared to be happy.
Do you know, dear children, why they were so happy? Because they loved the Lord Jesus, and knew His eye was upon them.
We wonder how many of our little readers, when given work to do, can do it for Jesus’ sake? If you are one of His little lambs, as I trust many of you are, it will be your delight to please Him. How often boys and girls are forgetful of that little portion of scripture.
But some may say, “I do not know the Lord Jesus as my Saviour, and therefore cannot do my work well, or for Jesus’ sake.”
“The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10,10For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10) and your last step is to look by faith unto the crucified One, resting on His finished work, and to know that by His grace, you are saved.
May the Holy Spirit work in the heart of each boy and girl, and older ones too, of our readers who are unsaved, and bring each one of you to confess the Lord Jesus as your Saviour. Then all you do will be done, I trust, unto the One who so loved you, and gave Himself for you. “WHETHER THEREFORE YE EAT, OR DRINK, OR WHATSOEVER YE DO, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD.” 1 Cor. 10:3131Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31).
