It gives all who love the Lord Jesus great delight to record how God answers prayer. I can recall one evening, some years ago at our weekly prayer meeting, prayer was made for a young woman who lay very sick, that God would come in and save her. We learned shortly afterwards that just as we had made this request she had trusted in the Lord Jesus for salvation, and soon after she went to be with the Lord.
Then a few weeks ago at the close of our Children’s Meeting, five dear girls waited behind, desirous to trust the Lord Jesus as their Saviour. I spoke simply to them of their need and God’s great salvation, and all professed faith in the Lord Jesus. Three are girls in my own class, and it gives great joy and encouragement to see these girls saved in their early days.
My further prayer now is, that they shall so live, that they may be able, even though quite young, to show that they are indeed saved, and may they shine for the Saviour in these dark days.
May we never forget that not only is the soul saved, but also the life, when they trust Jesus.
Thus may we take fresh courage and unceasingly bring our scholars and others before our Father, that it may please Him still further to add to the number of the saved.
