Some time ago, I was at the house of a friend, and dung the visit, I was requested to bring down a little girl that had gone up the stairway. She had stopped after going almost to the top, and so I held out my arms and said, “Come,” meaning to walk up after her. But, as soon as I said, “Come!” the dear little one sprang, at once, into my arms. I hugged her to my heart, with the thought,
“O, that we would answer Christ’s ‘Come’ as simply and quickly as this child did mine!”
It is true, dear little reader, that this is the way He speaks to you. Let Him have you as His own.
