A Hindu lady had learned to know the Savior of sinners as the One most precious to her heart. In her desire to please Him she meekly endured persecution and the loss of much for Christ's sake.
Her husband forbade her Christian friends to come near her when she was dying, and he burned her Bible and her Christian books. But she continued faithful to Him who loved her and gave Himself for her.
In a few words spoken to her husband before her death she revealed the secret of her peace: "You have forbidden my friends to come to see me. You have destroyed my Bible and my other Christian books. There is one thing of which you cannot rob me—the story of my Savior's love—for that is written in my heart."
Is it thus with you? Is Christ precious to you? Is the story of His love the cordial in every sorrow and your comfort when all else fails? Oh, dear soul, put first things first. May you have no rest, no peace, until, safe in Him, you truly "know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge." Eph. 3:1919And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:19).
"If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
"Dare to be a Daniel,
Dare to stand alone;
Dare to have a purpose true:
Dare to make it known!"
“YE KNOW THAT YE
WERE NOT REDEEMED
WITH
CORRUPTIBLE THINGS,
AS SILVER AND GOLD
... BUT WITH THE
PRECIOUS BLOOD
OF CHRIST.”
“RETURN UNTO ME;
FOR I HAVE
REDEEMED THEE.”
