EVERY one who loves the Lord Jesus is allowed the favor of serving Him. But, make no mistake, we cannot serve Him rightly, till we know that He served us, and has washed us from our sins in His precious blood. It is then, when we learn that He has finished the work of atonement on the cross for us,that we may begin to work for Him..
“But what can I do?” you may ask, and perhaps you add, “I am so young, and weak.”
Ah! there is much that you can do, young and weak though you may be. You can obey your parents. You can help them in the home and in the garden. You can run errands for them, and possibly, for others. You Can do your school-work well, and be an example of attention and carefulness to others.
You may do all this for Christ and glorify Him in doing it.
I remember hearing of a boy, whose name was Daniel, who came to the Lord Jesus at one of the children's services he attended. The next morning after that joyful evening, little Daniel was up early. His mother coming down said,
"Why, Daniel, whatever are you up so early for, and what are you doing this morning?"
"Mother," he answered, "now that I am converted I thought I would try to help you all I can." He was learning the first lesson for Christians,
If you know the Lord Jesus as your own personal Saviour, you can begin at once at home, and then the Lord Jesus will give you further service for Himself wherever He may guide you.
