Do you love Jesus better now than you did three months since?” I asked a young girl who had then trusted in Him as her Saviour.
“Yes, I love Him better every day,” she replied.
“Tell me, does Jesus love you better now than He did three months since?” In a thoughtful and decided tone she replied,
“No, He could not do that; He could not love me better!” Her calm, quiet response brought most forcibly and preciously to my mind that beautiful verse,
Dear reader, have you learned to trust: in Jesus as your Saviour? If so, can you rest in Himself as the unchangeable One, as the One who, with unabated affection, “having loved His own which were in the world, loved them to the end;” as the One who is filled with untiring, unchanging love to each and all who have trusted in His finished work for salvation—as the One “who could not love you better”?
The secret of my young friend’s growth in the knowledge and love of the Lord Jesus, and “of her loving Him better every day,” was her rejoicing in the unclouded sunshine of His unchanging love.
