DEAR children: As you receive Messages of Love from time to time, do you realize that they are God’s messages to you? He is “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
I often think of those solemn words, “And the door was shut.” Suppose someone was to shut a heavy door between you and your dear papa and mamma, how dreadful it would seem to you, though that would only be for a little while; but the door that God tells us about, will be shut forever and ever. God says to you now, “Look unto Me and be ye saved,” before the door of grace closes, and we do not know how soon it will be.
There are many prayers going up to God, in the name of the Lord Jesus, that the dear readers of Messages of Love may accept Christ as their own Saviour and live for Him in this world, till He comes.
May you be able to say from your hearts,
“Just as I am—without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God I come!”
K.
