WE were looking in your shop one day, sir,” said a little girl, who with her brother were 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 am 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 of God hath everlasting life?”
Many little ones of my acquaintance do believe God’s Word, and are happy in doing so, and they are quite sure when the door is shut that they will be inside, for God says that everyone who believes in Christ shall not perish. If my little readers are not quite sure that they shall be inside, let them quietly meditate on and believe a wonderful verse in God’s Word, and the matter will be settled at once.
“God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.
