"TELL me, mother dear, why your left hand is so different from the right; it seems so twisted and scarred?” inquired a little girl of her mother.
"Well, my dear," replied the mother, "one day, when you were quite tiny, you were playing so close to the fire that your frock caught alight, and to save you from being burnt I put the flames out with my hand which got badly burnt. These scars will show here as long as I live."
There is little doubt that, from that day, every time the little girl saw her mother's badly scarred hands, she would be reminded of a love which had acted so promptly as to save her from being burnt to death.
Dear young reader, have you ever seriously thought of the eternal love of God, who, knowing the danger to which you, in all your sins, were exposed, has given His Son, Jesus Christ, to die upon the cross, that your sins might be removed from the holy eye of God forever? But you will never enjoy the love of God unless you believe and trust in Jesus as your own personal. Savior, who has died for YOU and now lives for YOU.
Will you not trust Him?
