IT IS good to see children act kindly to all animals. God would have us with gentleness and affection for all, and the animals, also, appreciate kindness shown to them.
If we are kind to the animals, we will be kind to one another, and we know what happiness is the result; but when we are selfish, and determined to have our own way, we make trouble for ourselves and other people.
What an example we get in the Lord Jesus for the happy path. His path was marked with lowliness, meekness and gentleness. His whole life was manifesting love. He left His happy home above to come down here into this world of sin and sorrow because He loved you and me, and He even gave His life for us, so that we would not have to have that terrible death of separation from God on account of our sins. What a loving Saviour He is. May each reader, who knows that blessed Saviour as his own, seek, from Him, the needed grace that he may be more like Him in showing love and gentleness to others.
