CORNELIA, a noble Roman matron was asked by visiting friends to show them her jewels. But instead of displaying a collection of dazzling gems she presented to them her three sons, saying.
“These are my jewels.”
Before the Lord Jesus left heaven to come into the world He said, “My delights were with the sons of men.” Prov. 8:31.
When He brings all “His loved and His own” to heaven, He will exclaim: “Behold I and the children which God hath given me.” Heb. 2:13.
Little children, little children,
Who love their Redeemer,
Are His jewels, precious jewels,
His loved and His own.
Like the stars of the morning,
His bright crown adorning,
They shall shine in His beauty
Bright gems for His crown.
