You Are Loved
“Jesus beholding him loved him” (Mark 10:21).
Like the young man in this verse, the Lord loves you!
Frederick was raised in a Christian home like some of our readers. Sunday school, gospel meetings, family Bible readings, prayer time — he hated it — he was sick of it. Enough was enough! In his late teens, he decided that was it! He was gone! He left home for a distant city. He loved the busyness of metropolitan life. There was lots to do, plenty of entertainment, plenty of work — life was good.
However, the Lord loved him and had His eye on Frederick. One day while walking to the bus stop he glanced down and saw a crumpled piece of paper with some words on it. Curious, he bent down a picked it up. It was a gospel tract with a very timely message. A message warning of the folly of following the ways of Satan and leaving this world at the end of a godless life. The Spirit of God used it to go straight to his conscience, especially the verse, “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 16:25). Not many days later he was able to joyfully call his parents to tell them the good news, that now he was saved. This could be your joy too!
