Bright as he morning, was Lizzie’s testimony to the saving grace of God, even when a child of five summers.
When she was three years old, she sang at our Sunday school treat the well-known hymn,
Jesus loves me, this I know; For the Bible tells me so.”
As the sweet childish voice rang through the large hall, strong men wept, and one said, “It is the best sermon I ever heard.”
I have not the slightest doubt Lizzie was saved by grace, and knew it at that early age.
It is sometimes said that all “good children die young,” but Lizzie did not die, but lives still, happy in the dear Saviour’s love. There has been no dipping of the sun behind dark clouds, no lapsing into frivolity, no running after the things of the world, when the days of childhood were past. Her life has been one of continued joy in the Lord, following in His ways, and delighting to serve Him.
If you would be truly happy, from the days of youth right on through life, it can only be by knowing and believing that Jesus loves you, and that He is your personal Saviour and your Lord.
