A number of children have gathered in the grounds of a large home and are having a pleasant time. Some poor children have come in and are looking wistfully at all the good things they see.
One little girl, with pity and love in her heart for these poor children, has left the others, with a basketful of fruit and other good things, to give to these children.
We hope our dear friends will not for get the poor. We should share with them what God has given to us. This is what the Lord would have us do, and even more, for the word is,
You will notice one boy seems afraid to go near, although he sees the others getting the fruit freely, and the little girl is handing it out to them as fast as she can. He seems to be the oldest one in the bunch.
This is like many today; they hear of the offer of salvation, full and free, but they are afraid to accept it. The Word of God says,
The Lord wants us to come to Him, for He came from the highest glory, down to this poor world of sin to save us. Do not then be like the boy who is holding off, but come to the Lord Jesus now, if you have not already done so.
“HE THAT HATH PITY UPON THE POOR LENDETH UNTO THE LORD; AND THAT WHICH HE HATH GIVEN WILL HE PAY HIM AGAIN.”
