WE have reached the beautiful summer months with all the gorgeous flowers with which , God has decked and adorned this creation. How delicate some of them are, unable to withstand a cold blast which sometimes comes over night. In the morning, we see them wilted and their marvelous beauty all gone.
But there is this difference between us and those beautiful flowers; when they come to their end here, that is the last of them, but not so with us. God lets us know we shall live forever and ever, either with Him, or separated from Him, but He has provided a way so that none need be separated from Him.
Our sins would have caused us to be cut off from Him forever, because He is holy; but God gave His only Son, who alone was able to bear the awful load of sin, to die in our stead—to be forsaken of God. So He took that place on Calvary, and gained the victory for sinners; so that all who believe on Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
May each dear reader, young or old, consider how quickly the beautiful flowers are gone, and think how soon, too, we shall be gone from this life, and if you have not put your trust in Jesus as your Saviour, I beg of you to do so now.
He is ready and willing to save all who will come to Him. Tomorrow you may be gone from this life, and if without Christ as your Saviour, the wrath of God will remain upon you.
