A FRIEND of mine was going down the street the other day when he saw two small boys walking along with their heads very close together, as if they were good friends.
So my friend crept up behind them and listened to what they were sang. He found the one boy was telling the other about what a good kind father he had, how he took him for nice walks, bought things for him, and gave him spending money, and other things.
Presently the other boy said sadly, “I wish your father was my father.”
But that was impossible, however much he might wish it. Now every Christian boy or girl has a Father in heaven who is very kind to His children. He loves them just as He loves His own dearly beloved Son, the Lord Jesus. He makes them glad, watches over them, keeps them, and does many wonderful things for them. Perhaps there is one of our readers who is thinking, “I wish your Father were my Father.” If so, you can have God for your Father too, right now. If you will put your trust in the Lord Jesus as your Saour, you will become one of God’s own dear children at once.
