Some years ago, a very little girl stayed to the after-meeting, and a kind teacher had a little talk with her, teaching her to say the text, “We love Him, because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:1919We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19). Then she sent her home. The next morning she met the little one in the streets, and asked her if she could remember the text.
“No, teacher, I have forgotten the words, but I know what it was about.”
“Tell me what it was about, then, dear.”
“It was about,” the little one replied, “Jesus loved me first, and then I loved Him afterward!”
