Jessie and Her Grandmother
“Grandma,” said little Jessie, “I love Jesus now.” Was not that a sweet confession from a little girl of five years old? How pleased grandma was to hear her little granddaughter had thus so early learned to know and love Jesus as her own Saviour.
Jessie was on a visit to her grandmother, and how pleased she was to speak about Jesus, and to have the sweet Bible stories read to her.
Shall I tell you the picture she liked best to look at? It was the one of Zaccheus up in the sycamore tree, waiting to see Jesus as He passed by. And when Jessie was praying, before being put to bed, she always asked the Lord to make her like Zaccheus.
Dear little Jessie wanted to see and know Jesus, as Zaccheus did.
Can you, dear children, say as she could,
“I love Jesus”?
If you cannot, don’t wait any longer, but come to Him now. He is lovingly calling each little one. Jessie came. Will you not come also?
