“I found in Him a resting-place,
And He has made me glad.”
A LITTLE boy whom I know repeated these lines over and over again to himself, then suddenly turned to his grandmother with the question, “Granny, has Jesus made you glad?” “Yes, dear, He has,” she replied.
A few minutes after he put the same question to an aunt and cousin, and, receiving the same answer, exclaimed joyfully, “Then He’s made us all glad.”
Dear reader, can you say the same?
“I think the Lord sent Miss C. to me,” said a woman the other day who had been lately converted. “I had been seeking rest a long, long time, and when she came she showed me things in such a new light — Jesus was just waiting to receive me, only I did not accept Him.”
“Yes, Mrs.―,” I replied, “the Lord knew your need, and so sent her to show you where it could be supplied.”
“Yes, miss,” she continued, “and I’m so much happier now. I know now there is no real happiness away from Christ, and, come what will, we are safe in His keeping.”
Ah she had “found in Him a resting-place,” and He had indeed “made her glad.”
After trying human cisterns, she found that “none but Christ can satisfy,” and she also found that He had been patiently waiting years for her, only she did not know it.
Has He been waiting years for you, dear reader? If so, do come to Him at once, and you will find Him a sure and safe resting-place, and He will indeed make you glad.
