Seeking

Listen from:
One evening while walking down the street I met a little boy carrying a big cardboard box. Taking a little gospel booklet out of my pocket I gave it to him.
He took it promptly and then stopped for a moment under the street light to look at the title of the tract: it was called “SEEKING.”
Looking up with a bright smile on his face he said, “I am glad to say, sir, that I have found Jesus.”
When I asked him how long he had known Him, he told me that some little time before he had been at a children’s gospel meeting, and there he had sought and found the Saviour. How happy that dear boy seemed in His love!
Can you say too, my dear young friend, that you too have found Jesus? Have you really wished to come to Him? His promise stands as firm as ever— “Those that seek Me early shall find Me.” And His promise is that “him (or her) 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).)
Come then just as you are and He will receive you, save you, keep you, and at last bring you safe to that heavenly land where He Himself is gone.
