One wintry morning a boy of sixteen dropped into a small chapel in the hope of hearing something which would help him in the struggle that was going on inside his heart.
The preacher had not showed up, so one of the members conducted the service. He took for his text: “Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth.” Isaiah 45:2222Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. (Isaiah 45:22). He spoke for about ten minutes, and then seeing the boy whom he recognized as a stranger sitting under the gallery, he said, “Young man, you look very miserable. You will always be miserable — miserable in life and. miserable in death — if you do not obey my text. But if you obey now this moment, you will be saved.”
Then he shouted: “Young man look to Jesus Christ.” There and then the lad looked by faith to the Lord Jesus, and was saved eternally.
That boy was Charles H. Spurgeon who became a much used servant of Christ, through whose ministry thousands were blessed by in their souls.
Your need is great, but the Lord Jesus can meet that need, and if you will accept Him as your Saviour, He will become your unfailing guide. Look daily to Him, He will guide. The call of the world and the allurements of sin will not turn you aside if you keep your eyes on Christ. Then one day you will look into the face of the Son of God, who loved you and gave Himself for you.
