WILL little Grace run into the dining-room and get mamma’s book?”
Off trotted the three-year old baby, but at the dining-room door she stopped, and presently we heard little steps crossing the hall again.
“It’s very dark in the diny-room; is Jesus there?”
“Yes, Jesus is there, and He will take care of baby.”
“O, then I’m not fitened,” and away she went again and brought the book safely out of the dark room.
Is Jesus there? —is that the question which arises to our minds when fear comes? And is His protecting love and care so real to us that it soothes our hearts and relieves us from all anxieties? Yet we have the sure promise, “Lo, I am with you alway.”
On whom can we more surely rest than on Him who has told us to cast all our care on Him, for He cares for us?
