A PERSON who was anxious about her soul, and wanted to be saved, said to a friend, “I am seeking Jesus.”
“You need not do that,” replied her friend, “for He is close beside you, just waiting for you to accept His offer, and to take Him as your Saviour.”
“And so He is always,” said the dear woman, as she rose and said good-bye and went on her way home.
Now that you have heard my little story will you, dear child, who are not yet saved, take it to heart, and just take Jesus as your Saviour at this very moment?
He is near you today, and will save you. Tomorrow may be too late. Listen to His Word. “The Word is nigh thee . . . that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Rom. 10: 8, 9).
And for you, happy little Christian, who know Jesus as your Saviour, will you tell this little story to some of your little friends? that they, too, may find Jesus near, and, accepting His offer of salvation, be saved; for He has said, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6: 37).
