Little Dot was only four years old, when Jesus called her home to be with Himself, but young as she was, she knew Him as her Saviour, and was able to tell of His saving power. One day while the rain poured down and the thunder rolled, she sat on her mother’s knee, and hing her head in her mother’s bosom, she sang,
“Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast.”
When her father came home at night, she told him seriously about the thunder and the lightening, then with a happy smile said,
“Dot not afraid; safe in Jesus’ bosie.”
Dot’s father wondered to hear these words, for although very kind, and fond of his little girl, he did not know Jesus as his personal Saviour.
When Dot went home to be with Jesus, he was very sad, and many of her words came back to his mind, especially that simple testimony of being safe “in Jesus’ bosom.”
Now he is a Christian, saved, and happy, and finds it his joy to tell others of Jesus and His love.
Are you hid from the coming storm of Divine wrath against sin, in Jesus Christ, dear little reader? Are you as sure as Dot was of being in Jesus’ bosom; or, His love?
