Deer are very timid creatures and speedily retire under the covert of trees at the approach of strangers. What has led these three to venture so close to this house?

What an illustration is this of our own blessed Saviour, Lord and Friend.
As lost sinners we were driven to Him by our need. Like the prodigal, we were “in want,” and we knew our help and salvation was centered alone in the Lord Jesus,
Through grace we received His word, and our hearts rejoiced. Thus the Lord Jesus Christ became oar personal Saviour.
“What a Friend we have in Jesus!”
