CAPTAIN Dunlop was a Canadian missionary. Riding horseback through a Quebec forest one day, he saw an Indian cabin. Fierce dogs barked and tugged at their chains. If he called, would the Indian be friendly or angry?
As he stood wondering, the door opened and the Indian’s son appeared. He spoke kindly to the missionary. He told him that his father was a friendly Indian, and wished him to come in.
Captain Dunlop believed what the son said and was no longer afraid.
Have you believed what God’s Son has said about His Father? Jesus came from His home in heaven to tell us that His Father loves us. Indeed, “The Father sent the Son.” 1 John 4:1414And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. (1 John 4:14).
Satan would have us believe that God does not love us. But Satan is a liar.
Our guilty feelings may make us afraid, because God is holy and we are sinners.
“In Him we read the Father’s love
And find eternal peace;
We meet in Him a Saviour God
And fears and terrors cease.”
