What a lot of pretty toys these dear little girls have and how interested they seem in their lovely picture books. No doubt their kind parents delight in making them happy.
As these girls grow older, they will want other books, and we all need to be very careful what kind of books we read. Some are very helpful to us and some very harmful.
The Bible is the very best book to read, and will never harm us. It is the Word of God, and as new born babes we are to desire the sincere milk of the Word, that we may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2).
The Bible tells us that we are all sinners (Rom. 3:23), and that the Lord Jesus came down to die on the cross to save poor lost sinners (Rom. 5:8). How He must love us to have died for us, and to have borne the punishment for us. We have many verses in Scripture which tell of His is wonderful love. Can you think of one?
“ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY; WE HAVE TURNED EVERY ONE TO HIS OWN WAY; AND THE LORD HATH LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL.” Isaiah 53:6.
And now, dear reader, He wants every boy and girl, man and woman to put their trust in Him, and accept Him as their own personal Saviour. Have you done so? If not, won’t you come to Him now, just as you are?
