SAID a Christian mother to her sick child, on leaving her, “Tell me, Maggie, before I go, Are you sure you are saved?”
“No, mother dear, I am not. I have been very much troubled about it lately, and have so wished I could feel sure, as you always do.”
Her mother replied, “I don’t feel it, dear, I know it, because God says so. He tells me Jesus died for sinners; and I know I was a sinner, and I know He died for me, and His blood has washed away all my sins.”
“Will you let me tell your uncle and aunt? They both are better able to help you than I.”
After a pause, she slowly answered, “No, mother dear, thank you. No, It must be between God and myself, then there will be no mistake”!
What a wise decision! Nor was it in vain. She soon found in Christ, and in His work and word, all she needed. ―Extract.
