EDDIE WAS a Christian boy. At a children’s meeting he had heard the story of redeeming love and had received the Son of God as his own personal Saviour. His mother was also a Christian and a woman of prayer. She carried all her cares daily to the throne of grace and she gave Eddie the good counsel to “tell God about everything. He cares for you, Eddie, and everything about you. Even the hairs of your head are numbered. Nothing is too small for Him to be interested in; so tell Him everything. He says: ‘In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy path.’ "
“Will He help me with my assignments if I ask Him?” inquired Ed-die.
“Yes, just as surely as He helps me in my housework,” replied Mother. This was a new thought to Eddie. He had trusted himself to the Lord Jesus for his salvation, but he had not thought of seeking His help in the smallest matters of daily life. But now before Eddie began an assignment, or a test, or an exam, he sought the Lord’s help, believing the Lord would help him.
When Eddie got good grades in his class, some of his friends asked him, “Who helped you, Eddie?” “The Lord Jesus,” was his prompt reply.
Dear boys and girls, is Eddie’s Saviour and Helper your’s too?
WE know there’s a bright and glorious home,
Away in the heavens high,
Where all the redeemed shall with Jesus dwell:
But will you be there and I?
In robes of white o’er the street of gold,
Beneath a cloudless sky,
They walk in the light of their Father’s smile;
But will you be there and I?
If you take the loving Saviour now,
Who for sinners once did die,
When He gathers His own in that bright home,
Then you’ll be there and I.
