I was passing through a busy thoroughfare one evening, when I saw a poor blind girl standing on the edge of the path, waiting for some one to lead her across the road.
“Will you kindly help me over?” she pleaded.
A helping hand was at once stretched forward, and she was guided safely to the opposite side of the road. As she groped her way through the crowds of people, I could hear her singing heartily a beautiful little verse, only two lines of which I remember well enough to write,
“I love Jesus, He’s my Saviour,
Jesus smiles, and loves me too.”
Ah! I thought, here was one who had found a Saviour in the Person of the blessed Lord Jesus Christ, and whose heart could flow out in praise to Him in such words. Her blindness was no hindrance, for she had the light of God’s grace shining into her heart, and this it was that caused her to sing with such joy.
Now let me ask you, dear young reader, can you, from the very bottom of your heart, sing the precious words that I heard that poor blind one sinng? Can you say that Jesus is your Saviour, and that you love Him? He loves you, and wants you to trust Him. He gave Himself to die on that cruel cross to put away your sins and mine, and now all He wants you to do is to believe on Him, and then He has eness blessings for you; blessings which. none can ever take away, for the Lord Jesus has purchased them with His own precious blood.
