Mr. Spurgeon loved birds, and he felt sorry for them when the cold weather came, and they had to hunt far and wide for food.
There was a little platform just outside his study window, and he put some crumbs out there, hoping the birds would find them. In a short time, a busy robin spied the food, and quickly ate it all up. Next morning, more crumbs were put out, and sure enough, along came the robin and started in for another meal. Suddenly, the robin flew away, and came back bringing another bird with him, and together they finished the crumbs.
Each morning, more birds would be waiting for their food, and it set Mr. Spurgeon to thinking. Would it not be a fine thing, he thought, if those of us who have found the Lord Jesus as our own loving Saviour, hurried to our friends and neighbors and told them the good news?
Have you, dear reader, found for yourself the joy of being one of Jesus’ own redeemed and forgiven ones? If He is your Saviour, tell others the good news so that they may come to the same Saviour who has meant so much to you.
