Three little girls were chatting together. They were telling each other what they wanted to be when they grew up. Beth wanted to be a queen. Sue wanted to write books, but Karen wanted to be a lamb in Christ’s flock.
“Suppose you stray away and get lost?” said Beth.
“Oh, answered dear little Karen, “the Bible says, ‘The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.’ "
Any little child who puts his trust in the Lord Jesus need have no fear of being lost. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who gave His life for the sheep, will carry the lambs in His bosom quite near to His loving heart.
Safe in Christ, the weakest child
Stands in all God’s favor;
All in Christ are reconciled
Through that only Saviour.
Safe in Christ; safe in Christ!
He’s their glory ever;
None can pluck them from His hand,
They shall perish never.
Now by faith the justified,
Know that God is for them;
To the world they’re crucified,
Glory is before them.
