“UNCLE ABE” never had more than one year at school. He was a grown man before he trusted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour and became a true Christian. For most of his life he said he never cared for anyone, but then he found that there was One who cared for him! Since then he has learned to read and he has a New Testament which is quite worn from use.
One day Uncle Abe was talking with a man who told him he had a bad heart. “So have I,” responded Uncle Abe; “but I have something here that is good for a bad heart.”
“What is that?” asked his friend.
Dear old Uncle Abe showed him a little book with a red heart on the cover and some Bible verses inside. Then he read to him: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me.” John 14:11Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. (John 14:1).
I hope Uncle Abe’s friend came to know the Lord Jesus as his Saviour too, for it was He that spoke those kind words. Have you, my friend, trusted Him as your Saviour?
