Listen from:
It was at a children’s meeting one time and a very little girl stayed till the after meeting. A kind teacher had a little talk with her and taught her the text: “We love Him, because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:1919We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19). Then she sent her home.
The next morning she met the little girl on the street, and asked her if she could remember the text. “No, teacher, I have forgotten the words, but I know what it was about,” she replied.
“Tell me what it was about then, dear.”
The little one replied, “Jesus loved me first, and then I loved Him afterward.”
“VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME HATH EVEASTING LIFE.” John 6:4747Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. (John 6:47).
