AS we look at our picture, we see a little girl who has love or affection for her dear grandma. Many willing steps will she run for the one she loves, and they enjoy each other’s company very much.
The Scripture tells us,
“In the last days, men shall be disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,” and we do see much of this around us.
If asked whether you love your parents or not, the answer would likely be, “Yes, I do.” But actions speak louder than words. Are you always as thoughtful, kind and obedient, as true love would prompt you to be? There are many ways of pleasing ourselves. We forget “We’ve now to please but One.” Are we lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God?
To any of our readers who know not the Lord Jesus, we would say they have made their own choice of pleasure rather than Jesus. We trust they may become aware of their danger before it is too late, when the voice of this same Jesus will say,
“I know you not.”
The love of Christ constraineth us,
