Help Her, Help Us

Ah! dear friends, I did indeed help her, and help us, in prayer and supplication, for there is no use in thinking if you do not act, and to act is to pray. Pray for each and every one of your dear relatives. I mean specially for those who as yet have not given their hearts to God, have not come and accepted life from the Lord Jesus Christ. We need not judge, but we can pray. It was in answer to the following quotation from a letter I received that I began more than ever to pray: “—has sent me a sweet little note, saying she is asking the Lord Jesus to come into her heart and give her life, and make Himself a reality to her. She is trying to take things simply as a little child, and leave what is puzzling to her, so I am content. Did ever anyone ask this in vain?” True, the dear girl was dying, and had but a few days to live, and oh! how we all prayed that she might rejoice in the full salvation so freely offered to each one who will come and take. “Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely” (Rev. 22:1717And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17)).
