DEAR children, as we have said before, we say to you again, there is but One Saviour, and but One Way of Salvation for all, whether we be grown-up persons or little children. God is a holy God, and no sinner in his sins, great or small, could dwell with Him; but “the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth us from all (or every) sin,” and all who are cleansed are in the light.
Now there is only one way of living for God, and that is God’s own way, as shown in His own book. Young or old, there is but one way for us all. Little children are called unto love, and peace, and gentleness; little children are called to serve God. I need not say that small people are not asked by God to do great things, but every little thing a child may do in God’s strength for God is great in God’s eyes, and by-and-by the ways of dear children will be remembered, even as will be the ways of God’s great servants.
Children have often to be carried. Little people need strength. Now, each day, you must seek strength from your God to live for Him. Tell Him your difficulties. Have you difficulties over your lessons, or in your play? Speak to your Father in heaven about them. He will never fail to hear what you say to Him, and He will give you the help that is needed. nave you difficulties with your brothers and sisters? I am sure you have sometimes, and your difficulties are as great to you as those Of grown-up persons are to them. Now take your troubles and your weakness to God in prayer. He is our Strength and our Shield, and as truly for you as. He was for such great men as King David, or the apostles our Lord called, and sent on their work. Ask your Father in heaven, believing. You would not ask your earthly parent and go away not expecting an answer. O, no; and so, when you ask God, believe, for He is more ready to hear than are we to ask.
