SEE how many pets little Winnie has. She is just feeding them. Rover and Tabby are watching Bunny take his dinner from the dish in her hand. The birds are flying over to a place where they can see and play with Winnie and her little pets. She leaves the cage door open and the birds know that she wants them to come out.
Will Tabby try to catch and kill the birds when Winnie is not watching them? Will Rover run after the timid little rabbit and frighten him? Will Rover and Tabby fight about the food Winnie gives them to eat? Oh, no! they all love her so much, they would not do anything that makes her sad.
There is some One who loves us with a greater love than the love Winnie has for her pets. It is God, and we read in His word that “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:1313Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13). Then how much we should love Him. Do we think about this great love and try each day to do that which is pleasing to Him? In this way we can show the love that is in our heart for God; as Winnie’s pets showed their love by doing that which they knew would please her.
