EVELYN used to pass a store that had a beautiful doll in the window. One day when she and her brother George were passing the store, Evelyn said, “I would just love to have that doll!”
A few weeks later what a surprise Evelyn had! Her brother gave her a box, and what do you think was in it? It was the same lovely doll she had seen in the window. How she thanked George over and over again for such a wonderful gift.
Do you think Evelyn paid her brother for the doll? Oh no! She just took it gratefully, and thanked him for it. And that is what God wants us to do with His wonderful offer of salvation — just take it as a free gift. He has sent His beloved Son to die for you, and if you trust Jesus as your Saviour and thank Him for dying for you, God will make you one of His dear children, Why not come to Him today? God’s gift of salvation is the best of all gifts.
The Gospel of His grace includes us every one,
For God so loved the world He gave His only Son;
That whosoever will believe
Shall everlasting life receive.
His power can make you what you ought to be;
His blood can cleanse your heart and make you free;
His love can fill your soul, and you will see
’Twas best for Him to have His way with thee.
Blessed are they that keep My ways
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life
