"I Do Love Jesus"

From: Messages of God's Love: 1946

A little girl had been attending some children’s services on the beach of a sea-side town. She heard, with many others, the preacher speaking of Jesus and His love to young and old, and saying that God was pleased and satisfied with the work His Son had done, when on the cross, for wretched sinners, more than eighteen hundred years ago; that God now delights to forgive all the sins of everyone who trusts in Jesus, and that He is quite righteous in doing so.

This little girl believed that the good news was for herself; and a few days. Afterward she said to her mother, “O, mamma! I do love Jesus; I would like to be with Him in heaven now; because He has died for every one of my sins; and I am so happy.”

You see that her cup of joy, which she had received through taking Jesus as her Saviour was running over. Do follow the example of the little child on the shore, by believing that Jesus did all this for you.

“Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say, Rejoice.” Phil. 4:4⁴Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. (Philippians 4:4).

“Let all those that put their trust in Thee, Rejoice.” Psa. 5:11¹¹But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. (Psalm 5:11).
