THIS little boy seems to be waiting for someone. Perhaps for his dear papa to come home, and there he sits on the window sill, looking as far off as he can see, so that he might catch the first sight of the one he is waiting for. We may be sure he loves that one, or he would not sit so patiently and watch.
Let me ask you, dear reader, Are you waiting and watching for anyone?
There is One who loves you very much, more indeed than anyone else, and He has told us that He is coming soon to take all His loved ones to be forever with Himself.
Do you know who that is? I know many of you can answer, that it is the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, there is no one who loves as He does, and He wants our love, and wants us to be waiting and watching for Him to come for us. Are you doing so? Just according to our love to Him, will we be watching for Him.
What a blessed moment it will be, for those who love the Lord Jesus, when He comes, for they will see Him who loved them so much as to die for them on Calvary’s cross. The Scripture says, “WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US.” 1 John 4:1919We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19).
Does that great love of His so fill your heart that you love Him so much, that you watch, while you wait for Him to come? May we all think much of His love to us, and that will draw out our love to Him, and then, not knowing what moment He will come, we will do what He has told us, and that is, “Watch, therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour.” Matth. 25:13.
