Give Me a Word to Speak to God."

A young soldier, who was not a Christian, received a fatal wound in the head, and as he fell back, he said to his comrade: “I have got my ticket; I am going west; give me a word to speak to God.” His comrade, not being a Christian, passed the word down the trench to a Christian mate, who took out his New Testament and marked it at John 3:1616For 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) He read to the dying man— “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The man listened eagerly, then gasped out: “That’s it; it is His own Word. He cannot go back on that. I trust Him.” He was saved at the last moment, through faith—he went “west” with a word to speak to God.
