“WE were looking in your shop one day, sir,” said a little girl, who, with her brother, was talking to me, “but we did not see you.”
“And I wonder,” I said, “when I get to heaven, if you will be looking in to see if I’m there?”
“No, no, we shall be inside, then,” said the little girl with a meaning look, which seemed to say she had no doubt about the matter. And why should there be any doubt, even in a little child’s heart, when God says in words which a tiny boy or girl can understand, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.” And many little ones of my acquaintance, do believe God’s Word, and are happy in doing so, and they are quite sure that they will be inside when the door is shut, for God says that everyone who believes in Christ shall not perish. If my little readers are not quite sure that they will be inside, let them read the sixteenth verse of the third chapter of John. Remember! “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”
MY LITTLE FRIEND.
