One day a stray kitten came to our house. It stayed around, and now it seems to love us. All we did was give it something to eat, show it a little love, and name it Teeny. Now Teeny comes and rubs against our legs, purring so loudly it sounds like a little motor. Teeny was only a little stray kitten, but how the children love him.
Doesn’t this remind us of the Lord Jesus? He picks us up, lonely, stray sinners, and brings us to Himself. He shows us His loving kindness, watches over us, and sees that we have everything we need. We are just drifting in this world with no purpose to our lives. But when we come to the Lord Jesus, we find a purpose for living and 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 happy He must be when we thank Him for all that He has done and when we tell others about Him.
