My Son, Give Me Thine Heart

A bright boy heard and was deeply impressed by the text, "My son, give Me thine heart." Satan whispered: "Time enough yet."
Ten years later, a brilliant university man heard the same text, in circumstances which seemed to make that time the time of his salvation. Again the tempter whispered successfully: "Time enough yet."
Twenty years later a statesman listened to the same text from the lips of an aged servant of God and felt it was God's message to him. This time the tempter said: "Visit foreign countries before you decide."
A traveler to foreign lands was stricken with cholera. His greatest suffering was agony of soul, for he was not prepared to die. His last words were the awful cry of despair: TOO LATE!
The boy, the university man, the statesman, the traveler, were all one. Procrastination has damned millions. "Time enough yet," says the deceiver while Scripture says, "NOW is the accepted time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation." 2 Cor. 6:22(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (2 Corinthians 6:2).
"WHAT SHALL I
DO THEN WITH JESUS
WHICH IS CALLED
CHRIST?"
