A small girl once had five dollars given to her, and her father deposited it for her in the bank.
But a few days after she said, “Father, I should like to see that five dollars in the bank.” So her father said, “Come with me then,” and off they went to the bank. The manager kindly let her go around the counter and look at the drawer full of money.
“But which is my five dollars?” asked the little one. You see she did not have full confidence.
But the Apostle could say, “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.” 2 Tim. 2:1212If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: (2 Timothy 2:12). Put your soul into the care of Jesus, and it will be quite safe for eternity.
I expect some of you children have an account at the bank. Now, perhaps you go and put five dollars in one day. You return home without the money but you are perfectly comfortable, bause you have made your deposit, and know it is all right.
I remember a boy ten years old, called Robert, put his soul into the care of the Lord Jesus one night, after he got home from a meeting; and he was so happy the next morning.
