There are six in our family and I am the youngest. My brothers and sisters were all saved, and often told me about the need of a Saviour; so did my father and mother and my Sunday school teacher. Still, I was without Jesus. Some children’s meetings were held in the hall where our school is, and many boys and girls were anxious, and waited to be spoken to in the after meetings. I felt very miserable, especially when I heard them say they were saved.
One night I felt a load on my heart, and waited too. A gentleman spoke to me; he told me Jesus would save me if only I trusted Him, and he read this verse—“I will trust and not be afraid” (Isa. 12:22Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. (Isaiah 12:2)). He asked me if I could say that. I then saw it was all in trusting: I did trust Jesus and He saved me. I am happy now.
