AN OLD Indian who had been a very wicked man was saved and was asked to tell about his conversion. He was accustomed to chase deer and bears over mountains and through swamps so he described how he was led to Christ in this manner:
"I was in the mire of sin. I tried to get out and could not. I tried harder, but the harder I tried, the deeper I sank. I put forth all my strength, but only went down deeper and deeper. I found I was completely down in the mire — I gave the death yell, and found myself in the arms of Jesus Christ."
How is it with you, dear reader? Have you come to the place where you find you cannot do anything to save yourself? Have you given the death yell, like the old Indian? Have you, like the publican of old said,
This is just the place where you will find the loving Saviour standing with outstretched arms, waiting to save you. Won't you trust Him now?
"Only trust Him, only trust Him, Only trust Him now.
He will save you, He will save you, He will save you now.
