Cameo was a beautiful Himalayan cat, but she had only one eye. Only perfect animals can be taken to cat shows, so poor Cameo could never be exhibited. There would be no blue ribbons for her-no prizes for a proud owner.
So to the veterinarian Cameo went, and her owner said, “I don’t want this cat; put her to sleep!”
How sad! But isn’t that the way people often are today? If one is pretty or handsome or talented, the world bids high for them. They say, “Make something of yourself!”
But if a person is plain or poor, often no one cares about them. Right? No, wrong! In Psa. 40:1717But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. (Psalm 40:17) David says, “I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me.” God cares about us no matter who we are or how bad we have been. What a Savior!
We too, like Cameo, can have only one eye, or be totally blind, or lame or sick or poor, but if we come to the Savior we will be “accepted in the Beloved.” Cameo was not put to sleep after all; one of the vet’s assistants rescued her and took her home to a comfortable life as the family pet.
Even so Christ Jesus in His love and mercy picks up poor sinners and gives them a home with Him, where there is everlasting joy and happiness. Come to Him NOW, just as you are, for He has promised that “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37)).
