"Only Jesus Could Love Him"

Freddie was really mean. He teased the dogs and chased the cats and seemed happy only when he was making trouble.
The boys and girls of the neighborhood had many happy games together, but when Freddie joined them, it usually ended in an argument or a fight.
Harold and his friend Willie were pretty good friends, and they talked things over, as young boys do. One day they talked about Freddie.
“He’s a real mean pest,” said Willie. “I don’t know anybody that really likes Freddie at all.”
“I do,” said Harold. “I know he’s mean, but Jesus loves him anyway.”
Wasn’t that a good answer! And it was wonderfully true too, for Jesus doesn’t look around for kind and gentle boys and girls to love. He faithfully tells us that.
“There is none that doeth good, no, not one.” Romans 3:1212They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (Romans 3:12). Then He tells us the most wonderful news you could imagine.
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:88But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).
