WILLIE was a little boy who had been brought up to be very polite, but he had never been allowed to go to Sunday-school. One day, while calling on a neighbor, he was attracted by a motto on the wall which read:
|
Jesus:
|
|
Accept Him
|
|
Reject Him
|
Willie wanted to know what these words meant, so the lady told him, the story of Jesus, and His love for sinners. She told him how Jesus received everyone who came to Him.
The tears came into Willie’s eyes as he listened. He was asked if he believed what he had heard, and he said he did. Then his friend said,
“It would please the Lord if you would confess all your sins to Him, and then live each day to please Him.”
Another day, when they met again, the lady asked,
“Did you confess your sins to Jesus?”
“Yes, ma’am, but I didn’t know just what to say, So I asked Him to please excuse me for all the bad things I ever did.”
