In relating the story of his conversion from infidelity, and his salvation by faith in the Lord Jesus, a young man told the following touching story.
"It was a winter day, all was dull without and within. I myself was in misery of body and mind. I had been a companion of infidels, and tried to forget what I learned in the home of my childhood about God and eternity. In fact I did not want to believe it, so that I might enjoy a life of sin. This is what makes young men embrace infidelity: it gives them a free hand to go on in sin.
No God, no judgment, no hell; you may do then as you like. I was never altogether at ease. The teaching of my boyhood often haunted me in the hours of night as I lay awake. Mine was a miserable life.
That wintry Sunday night, I sat alone by the fire, musing and wondering where my life would end. I said to myself half aloud—is there a God? If there is, let Him send me some proof that He lives, and that He can provide for me in time and eternity, if such there be? Just then a robin alighted on the window sill, and picking up a few crumbs, sat perched on a twig chirping as merrily among the snow as if it had been a May day. I said to myself,
'There is a God. Who could make that little bird chirp so blithely but He?'
I arose and went into the town, and for ' the first time for ten years, I entered a place where the gospel was preached, and praise be to God, I was saved, and set on the Rock Christ Jesus, that night.
"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of His understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength." Isaiah 40:28, 2928Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. (Isaiah 40:28‑29).
