Robert’s older brother had been brightly saved and was very happy in the Lord. Now Robert was concerned; in fact he was greatly troubled.
Early Sunday morning he came to his mother’s room saying, “O, Mother, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it any longer.”
“What is the matter, Robert,” she asked. Then he told her how he could not sleep at nights for fear the Lord would come and he might be left.
His mother, who was a widow, and a Christian, had a quiet talk with her boy. She told him the Lord Jesus loved him; had died to put 1. way all His sins, and all he had to do now was to ask Him to come into his heart and be his Saviour. The result was that Robert confessed the Lord in a very simple way; then he said, “O what a Saviour, that He died for me!” Needless to say, his mother’s joy was beyond telling.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3: 16.
