A dear Christian mother was quietly waiting the home-call. As she lay on her death-bed she was asked, “Have you any wish?”
“Yes,” she replied, pointing to one who stood at the end of the bed, “I’d like to know that my daughter is saved.”
This verse, “Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely,” was quoted to that anxious girl, and she was pressed to “take.”
There and then the question was settled, as she simply answered, “Taken.”
“Say it louder,” said the dying mother.
“Taken, taken,” responded her child, as she accepted Christ as her Saviour.
Dear reader, will you not take now? Simply believe what He says. Believe on His finished work, and faithful word.
“The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23.
Hark! the voice of Jesus calling—Come, ye children, come to Me; I have rest and peace to offer, Rest, dear children, now for thee.
Take salvation,
Take it now and happy be.”
