She Trusted Him

From: Messages of God's Love: 1935

A POOR ragged little girl wanted to cross a street. It was crowded with traffic of various kinds. Buses, cabs, wagons and cars of every sort were quickly passing. She dared not trust herself amid it all. How should she reach the other side? She wisely looked out for someone to be her guide and to take her over. She saw a kindly-looking policeman and thought she could trust him. He saw her wish was to cross, and held out his strong hand to her Gladly she took it, and together they began the journey. Holding up his other hand he caused the traffic to stop until the child was safely on the pavement of the opposite side of the street. Then thanking him for his kindness and help she trotted off to tell what had happened to her and how easily she had got over.

It was well for her that such a strong friend was at hand and ready to help her. Have you such a friend to guide you through life? Yes! there is One. The Friend of sinners. He is willing and waiting to bless you.

Do you know the lines—

“There’s a hand held out in pity,

There’s a hand held out in love;

It will pilot to the City,

To our Father’s house above.

There’s a hand held out to you,

There’s a hand held out to me.”

That hand is a pierced hand. It was pierced for us at Calvary.

Do you notice that the little girl did four things beginning with the letter T?

She trusted. She took. She thanked. She told.

Now I wonder if you can say, through His grace,

I have trusted Christ.
