Doesn't It Look Comfortable

LITTLE Rosie and her brother Ben loved to stay with their aunt in the country. They found lovely swings in the garden, walks in the woods, and romped here and there to their hearts' content. Upon the wall inside the house was a picture of an eastern shepherd carrying a little lamb in his bosom.
After looking very intently at the picture, Rosie said,
"Auntie, I don't wish to grow big."
"Why, my dear?"
"Because Jesus carries the lambs in His bosom, and He doesn't carry the big sheep;" and then, looking again at the picture, she said, "Doesn't it look comfortable?"
Jesus calls the saved children His lambs, and the saved grown people His sheep, and they follow Him.
Dear boys and girls, have you learned the tenderness of the Lord Jesus? What a happy place it is to be folded in His arms, close to His tender heart. To be carried over the rough path of life. To be guarded and shielded from harm and danger.
"How happy are the lambs
In Jesus' tender care,
Upon His arm, secure from harm,
They nestle safely there."
"He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young." Isaiah 40:1111He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. (Isaiah 40:11).
Are you one of His lambs? Have you taken Him as your loving Shepherd?
"I am the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep." John 10:1111I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. (John 10:11).
