Jean was a little girl about six or seven years of e. She had never heard of the love cd the Lord Jesus, for her parents were drunkards, and often would beat her and her little sister.
Jean had a girl friend her own age who lived across the road. Linda had just trusted the Lord Jesus as her Saviour, and she loved to tell others of the Saviour she had found. She told Jean that if she would put her trust in the Lord Jesus she would be saved for all eternity, and when the Lord came, He would take her up to be with Him. It was not long after this that Jean did trust the Lord as her Saviour, and how happy she was!
It was a beautiful late afternoon. The sun was just going down in the west, and the sky was ablaze with gold, orange and yellow, making them think of that happy land where many of the redeemed have gone. As Jean and Linda sat on the grass looking up into the sky, Linda said, “Doesn’t that remind you of what heaven will be like? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Jesus came out of that beautiful sky now and called us up to be with Him?”
“Oh yes,” said Jean, “and I know that I am saved, and if He came, I could go right up to be with Him! Perhaps He will come tonight.”
Not long after this Jean moved away, and Linda never heard of her again, but she was glad she had talked to her of the Saviour, and one day those two girls will meet in heaven. Dear young friend, will you meet them there?
