How old must I be before I can be a Christian?”
It was a little girl who asked the question of her mother.
What do you think the mother would say? What would you reply if a brother or sister or friend of yours asked you about it?
Why the younger you are when you come to the Saviour, the better it is. He loves to bless the little ones like you, and He never sent any one away saying, O! you are too young, you must wait until by and by.
It is said that the Lord “called” little Samuel to Himself. Yes! four times over He came near the child and stood and called him. And when Samuel answered Him, He made Samuel His messenger.
The Lord blessed Joash the eight years old king.
The Lord blessed the little children who were brought to Him.
He called a little boy to Himself and took him in His arms.
He blessed little Timothy and made him His servant.
And He will bless you if you come to Him today.
You need not wait until you are grown up. You need not wait another day or even another hour. He will receive you now as you sit reading this little message about Him. He will bless you, and make you a blessing, and send you to tell of Him to others.
