Saved Just as You Are

I was aroused to think about eternal things in my class in the Sunday school, while my teacher was speaking from the parable of “The Prodigal Son,” one afternoon.
I was much troubled for some weeks, my proud heart being unwilling to yield to God and say, “I have sinned against heaven and in Thy sight.” Luke 15:1818I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, (Luke 15:18).
On a Saturday afternoon, after coming from my work, I wandered on very unhappy. A young man passing handed me a tract, which I took and thanked him. Walking along, reading as I went, I came upon these words, “You may be saved just as you are, and where you are, by simply trusting your soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. He says, ‘Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.’” John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37).
I saw that if that were true, He would save me. I do not know how it happened, but I found myself saying half-aloud:
“Jesus, I will trust Thee,
Trust Thee with my soul.”
And then it was that peace filled my
heart. I know that I am Christ’s and He is mine.
“Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.” Psalms 2:1212Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. (Psalm 2:12).
