A CHRISTIAN lady used to visit in a hospital. One day she found there a little boy so thin and small, and she felt so sorry for him. He was much smaller than most boys his age.
She was very kind to him and brought him fruit and flowers whenever she visited the ward. She found him eager to hear about the Lord Jesus, the sinner’s Friend. As time went on she got him to think about his need of the Saviour but he would always speak of how he belonged to his church. He didn’t seem to realize that the Lord Jesus had died on the cross for him.
But one morning when she called she found him with his little face all aglow. When she asked him why this was so, he replied joyfully, “Oh lady, I always knew Jesus was necessary, but I never knew until yesterday that He was enough!”
The little fellow had made a great discovery. Jesus is not only necessary for our soul’s salvation, but He is also enough. He is all the sinner needs — nothing more and nothing less.
Jesus, Thou art enough
The heart and mind to fill;
Thy patient life to calm the soul,
Thy love its fear dispel.
