LITTLE Margaret was an only child, and she was often very lonely without any brothers or sisters to play with. She was very fond of her dolls, and her parents and friends would often bring her a new doll to play with. It wasn't long before she had twelve dolls.
One day, Margaret's father told her they would soon move to another town more than five hundred miles away and he thought she should just take two or three of her favorite dolls and leave the rest behind. The little girl went into her playroom to look over her dolls and decide which ones to be taken. She looked at each one lovingly, and went back to her mother with tears in her eyes and said,
"Mamma, if you had twelve children would you leave any of them behind?" Her mother said, "Oh, no, dear, I wouldn't be able to leave one behind.- Little Margaret said,
"Well, mamma, I just can't leave any of my dolls behind either! So the twelve dolls were carefully packed in a box, and when the moving van came they were safely put on – not one left behind!
Doesn't this little story make us think of the wonderful day when the Lord Jesus will come for His own? This may take place at any time, and all who have put their trust in Him as their own Saviour will be caught up to be with Him forever—not one will be left behind!
Those who are left behind for judgment will be those who have refused this great salvation. Think of it—left behind for judgment! We trust you will not he among that number. If you have not taken the Lord Jesus as your own Saviour, we urge you to come today and take Him as your Saviour, before it is forever too late.
"And they that were ready went in with Him to the marriage: and the door was shut." Matthew 25i10.
