Little Heidi was at the children’s meeting and heard a talk given on the words “He knoweth them that trust in Him.” (Nah. 1:77The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. (Nahum 1:7).)
Afterward I said to little Heidi, “Does the Lord know you?”
“Yes,” she said.
“How do you know that?”
“Because I am trusting in Him.” “Well, how long have you been trusting Jesus?”
Little Heidi looked down and then she said, “Only since I came here this afternoon.”
She had heard the Shepherd’s voice. She did not wait until she got home. She did not even wait until the meeting was over; but while she was listening to the invitation she entered into the Shepherd’s arms, by just taking Him at His Word.
