AT A children’s service a little girl was listening eagerly to the words of the speaker, as he pressed upon his hearers the joy of accepting the Lord Jesus as their Saviour. The child was deeply anxious and when spoken to burst into tears.
“And are you trusting in the Lord Jesus?” she was asked and at once she replied, “Oh, yes.”
“Why, how long has that been?”
“Only just now, when you were telling us to trust Jesus just where we were sitting, and I did.”
Later when they were saying good-night the speaker said, “Now, Jean, when you came here this evening you did not belong to the Lord Jesus, but you are going out of this place a believer in Him, and belonging to Him. But tomorrow morning you will perhaps be tempted not to believe that Jesus has 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 yet confident manner, “Oh, I shall tell him that Jesus has got me now.”
