O you love Jesus?" asked a little girl of a gentleman to whom she had been speaking in her simple way of the wonderful love of Jesus in leaving His Father's home on high and coming into this world to save sinners. He was so deeply affected that he burst into tears and was led to acknowledge himself a sinner in the sight of God and to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as his own personal Saviour.
Does not this show how God can use the testimony of the youngest child who loves Him in blessing to others. Surely there is no story that is so calculated to melt the hardest heart as "the old, old story of Jesus and His love."
My dear young friend, let me affectionately ask you,
"Do you love Jesus?"
If unsaved you cannot truly say you do. But if you own yourself a sinner and accept the Lord Jesus as your own personal Saviour now, you will be able in reality to say you love Him, and as you go on through life your desire will be to love Him more.
O! is He not worthy of your heart's affections who suffered in your stead on Calvary's cross in order that eternal blessing might be yours?
Then the language of the hearts of those of us who do really love Him may surely well be expressed in the following words written by William Cowper:
Hark, my soul! it is the Lord;
'Tis thy Saviour, hear His word,
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,
Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?
I delivered thee when bound,
And, when wounded, healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light.
Lord, it is my chief complaint,
That my love is weak and faint,
Yet I love Thee, and adore,
O! for grace to love Thee more!
