EDWARD, we will call him, has started in quite young to try to represent on paper the various things he sees around him. It is quite interesting to his sisters and brother, so they watch, him to see what kind of work he will make of it. We all are representing something, or someone, in our lives down here, so we are either good or poor artists.
“Be ye therefore followers of God as dear children,” (Eph. 5:11Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; (Ephesians 5:1).) is said to Christians. You must be one of His children to be a follower, or an imitator. You know whether you are His or not; and if you are, may you seek to imitate the Lord Jesus Christ in all His lowliness and meekness, His gentleness and love, His perfect obedience to His Father, and His delight to do His Father’s will.
Let all those who know the Lord Jesus seek to be good imitators of Him, for He was the perfect One in everything, and was the full revelation of God to us. True happiness is alone to be found in this path, so this is another incentive for us to follow the Lord.
“A little while”—He’ll come again;
Let us the precious hours redeem;
Our only grief to give Him, pain,
Our joy to serve and follow Him.
Watching and ready may we be,
As those who wait their Lord to see.
“HAPPY IS THAT PEOPLE, WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD.” Psa. 143:15.
