The other day a stray kitten came to our house. It decided to stay, and it has grown to love us already. All we did was give him something to eat, and show him some kindness. Now he comes and rubs against our legs, purring all the while. Just a little stray kitten, but how the children love him!
Doesn’t this remind us of the Lord Jesus? He picks up poor stray sinners like us and brings us to Himself. He shows us His loving kindness and supplies everything we need. By dying on the cross for sinners, He has shown us the greatest love there is. We are just wanderers in this world, but when we come to the Lord Jesus we find a home, because His love has prepared it for us.
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary and worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting place,
And He has made me glad.
How His heart must rejoice when we thank Him for all that He has done and when we tell others of His love!
