A young man was speaking to some girls and boys at a Children’s meeting, and he said to them:
“I was saved when I was ten years old. My father and mother are Christians, and I had heard the way of salvation, through the Lord Jesus Christ, from my earliest years, but it was only when I saw my need of a Saviour, that I made Him my own.
One night a hymn was sung, “There is a Fountain,” and I had often sung it, but that night, the chorus,
“I do believe, I will believe,
That Jesus died for me,
That on the Cross He shed His Blood,
From sin to set me free,”
was sung over and over again, and I saw, as I had never seen before, that Jesus died for me—my own self—and that I, by believing on Him, was saved. I just made Him my own, and I was saved there and then. Jesus was mine and I was His. That was the best and happiest night in my life, and I have thanked Him every day and night since. I have my troubles, but He helps me to bear them, and I am happy in His love.”
Can you say from the heart, clear boys and girls,
“I do believe, I will believe,
That Jesus died for me”?
