| I Belong to Him |
“Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory”
(1 Peter 1:7-8). |
| Off the coast of Greece the fishing boats were setting out to sea. On the shore a crowd was watching, and saying goodbye to the sailors. A few young girls were waving, each one with a white scarf around their head. As soon as the boats were out of sight the girls took off their white scarves and put on black ones. “Why?” asked a visitor of Kristina, one of the girls. |
| “I wear the black scarf to show that my lover is at sea,” she said. “I want everyone to know that I belong to Paulos.” |
| So, Kristina, like the other Greek girls, wore her black scarf to show that her heart was with her loved one. |
| Our beloved is the Lord Jesus, whom we cannot see as yet. Are we as true to Him as those Greek girls were to their loved ones? We have a Saviour whom the world has refused. Let’s be faithful to Him during the little while that we have left us down here. |
