THE OTHER DAY a stray kitten came to our house. It stayed, and now it has grown to love us already. All we did was to give him something to eat, and show him some kindness. Now he comes and rubs against our legs, purring all the while. Just a little cast off kitten, but how the children love him!
Doesn’t this remind us of the Lord Jesus? He picks up poor stray sinners and brings them to Himself. He shows us His loving kindness—meets our every need, according to His riches in glory. We are just wanderers in this world, but when we come to the Lord Jesus we find a Home.
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary and worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting place,
And He has made me glad.
Oh how His heart must rejoice when we thank Him for all that He has done, and when we tell others of His love!
