Listen from:
"You will be more than pleased to know that I have found the Lord Jesus Christ, and to me it seems wonderful and glorious to feel the great joy and change that have come over me.
"I feel that I have wasted the greatest part of my life, and that I must make up for those wasted years in giving every remaining hour to Jesus."
So wrote a young man from overseas, a year or so ago, to a relative in England, to whom this was the best possible news she could receive from him, for he had been the subject of many prayers. Boyhood, youth, and early manhood had passed without his knowing the Savior. But at length divine love overtook him and "broke every barrier down," and joy which he had long sought elsewhere in vain filled his heart as the result of his having trusted in Jesus. This then wrought in him a great change. Instead of living for himself, his earnest desire was to live for Him who died for him and rose again, and so redeem the time which he had lost—those wasted years.
Would you, dear reader, know for yourself that same joy and prove that same great change? Then come to the Savior,—Jesus is His name; trust yourself wholly to Him, and He will save you, and keep you, for He died for you, and He will bless you and one day take you to be with Himself.
