I hope there are many saved boys and girls who read the Messages of Love. Perhaps you have wondered if there is any little work that you could do to please the Lord Jesus. I will tell you one way, which I learned from a story of a little girl whom I knew.
One Lord’s day evening, as I was telling out the gospel of the grace of God, I noticed little Norma sitting all by herself on the front row. She watched me with so much interest and attention that I couldn’t forget her. The next Lord’s day she was there again, and seemed once more to be ready to catch every word of the address. One day I went to Norma’s home, and while visiting, I mentioned to her mother about Norma’s very careful interest in the gospel meeting. Then I learned the reason why. There was an old lady down the street who was crippled and was not able to get out to any services at all, and it was Norma’s greatest delight to go and tell her all that she could remember of the meetings. Norma herself loved the Lord Jesus, and she wanted to do this for Him.
Do you, dear young Christian reader, have any friend or neighbor who is sick or blind? Could you not listen carefully to the gospel message and then take it to your friend? You will not only he making, others happy, but pleasing the Lord Jesus too.
