One afternoon, Grace came home from school with a tiny little boy. She said, “O, Mamma this little boy is lost, but I think he lives near us.”
The little tot had followed some older girls to school, and although he was getting further from home, he seemed quite happy.
Grace’s mother asked the Lord to show her where to find the child’s mother. They walked up and down the street, and soon the little one spied his mother looking for him, and ran into her arms. How happy his mother was to see her bou!
Little Jackie was lost but hadn’t realized it and was perfectly happy going farther from home.
“All we, like sheep, have gone astray; we have turned every one own way, and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
We may feel very happy in our sins, but if we do not take Christ as our Saviour, we read in the Bible that we shall die in our sins, and to be forever lost.
