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.
