AT a children’s service a little girl was listening eagerly to the words of the speaker, as he pressed upon his young hearers the joy of accepting the Lord Jesus as their own Saviour. The child was deeply anxious, and when spoken to burst into tears. “And are you trusting the Lord Jesus?” she was asked, and at once replied, “Oh, yes.” “Why, how long has that been?” The reply was, “Only just now, when you were telling us to trust Jesus, just where we were sitting, and I did.”
As they were about to say, “good night,” the speaker put the following little test before her:
“Now, J―, when you came to the service this evening you did not belong to the Lord Jesus, but you are going out of this place a believer in Him and belonging now to Him. But tomorrow morning you will perhaps be tempted not to believe that Jesus has really saved you. If Satan does so worry you, what shall you tell him?”
A smile instantly lit up her happy and thoughtful face, and she replied in a simple and yet confident manner, “Oh, I shall tell him that Jesus has got me now!”
