ONE day, while her mother was away at work, Reba took dinner with a friend. Reba enjoyed being invited out, as all little girls do. Her hostess was a kind Christian woman, and the two had often talked together about the things of the Lord.
At this time the lady told Reba that the Lord Jesus would soon come to take the Church to be with Himself. By “the Church” she meant all those who know Jesus as their own personal Saviour, and who have confessed their sins to Him.
Little Reba seemed quite troubled, and said,
“I do believe in Jesus, and before I go to bed tonight, I shall confess all my sins to Him.”
“O! but suppose He should come this afternoon”, replied the lady.
Then Reba said, “If you will go out into the kitchen, I’ll go into the parlor, and tell Him now.” And since that time, Reba says she knows she has eternal life.
I wonder how it is with the little boys and girls who read this paper. Have you believed in Jesus, and have you confessed your sins to Him?
