“What is the sweetest thing in the world?” The question was asked of a class of deaf and dumb children. Different answers were written on the blackboard.
Tom wrote, “going home"; Sandy wrote, “Mother’s love"; and so on until Lynn, the youngest of the class went to the board.
Hiding her face from sight she wrote with trembling fingers, “the tears of repentance.”
All who have truly repented of their sins and who have trusted the Lord Jesus as their Saviour will know what this dear girl meant and will agree with her.
Someone has said, “Repentance is the teardrop upon the eye of faith.”
