A LITTLE girl attended a meeting one evening where she heard about the leper in Lake 5, who said to the Lord Jesus,
“Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.” v. 12.
The Lord’s answer was, “I will: be thou clean.” v. 13.
By God’s blessing this led her to become a Christian. In speaking about it afterwards, she said, “I noticed that there was an ‘if’ in what the man said to Jesus; but that in what Jesus said to the man there was no ‘if’. So I thought I would go home and take out the ‘if.’ I knelt down in my little room, and said, ‘Lord Jesus, Thou canst, Thou wilt save me, and make me clean; I will give myself to Thee.’”
Let us all follow the example of this child, and take out the “if’ when we commit our souls to the Lord Jesus. And let none delay to commit himself to Him.
