One day a stray kitten came to our house. He stayed around, and now he seems to love us. All we did was give him something to eat, show him a little love and name him Teeny. Now Teeny comes and rubs against our legs, purring so loudly he sounds like a little motor. Teeny was only a little stray kitten, but how the children love him.
Doesn’t this remind us of the Lord Jesus? He picks us up, lonely, stray sinners and brings us to Himself. He shows us His loving kindness, watches over us, and sees that we have everything we need. We are just drifting in this world with no purpose to our lives. But when we come to the Lord Jesus, we find a purpose for living and a home.
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 happy He must be when we thank Him for all that He has done and when we tell others about Him.
