“And then after I was saved I wanted to tell others this story. God prospered me, and I was able to start a little mission work and all the years we have carried it on. Now I am growing old and feeble and my labor for the Master will soon be ended, and I shall go home. We have only a simple place, but the Lord is there and bless His holy name! we find that He is enough.
‘The mind and heart to fill,
His patient life to calm the soul,
His love its fear dispel.’ "
The thought of it all bowed old George in wonder and worship and he wept like a little child. Tears of sorrow? No, tears of joy! Tears of gladness, tears of the sense of the Saviour’s love!
Oh reader, if those of you who are strangers to what all this means, if you have never known the unspeakable joy through the heart of the old man who realized the presence of his Lord who loved him, we appeal to you now to look to the Saviour, to trust Him fully as you are in all your need, and sin and guilt, and rest assured that He will receive you and abundantly pardon as He did old George.
