Some children of missionaries were spending the night for the first time in a big city in a country far from home. The house they were in was large and strange to them, and partly unused. They were put to bed in a big room, with suitcases and other odd bundles all around them, and it was very dark.
Through the thin wall, I could hear them talking before they fell asleep. After a while, in a frightened voice, the little boy, who was six, asked, “What about the lions?”
Her voice peaceful and confident, his sister, who was two years younger, answered,
“What about GOD?”
It was the perfect answer.
Children, when you are afraid, I hope you will remember that answer. God is greater than any problem or fear you may have.
It is very sad that many children have never heard of the only true God, and so they cannot trust Him or love Him. They do not know that “God is love” (1 John 4:88He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1 John 4:8)).
Do you know Him?
