Listen from:
A FRIEND of mine told me of a poor Scotch girl who was very anxious about her soul. He told her to read Isaiah, chapter 53. She replied: “I canna read, and I canna pray. Jesus, take me as I am!” The Lord Jesus took her as she was, for she trusted her all to Him, and found life and happiness.
Dear young friends, let Him take you today, just as you are, and He will receive you to His arms; for “him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37).
Saved through the blood of Jesus,
Saved from the wrath to come,
Saved for eternal glory,
Saved for the Father’s home,
Watched by the faithful Shepherd,
Kept with the Father’s care,
Safe in those hands Forever,
No one can perish there.
“THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER: THE RIGHTEOUS RUNNETH INTO IT, AND IS SAFE.” Proverbs 18:1010The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. (Proverbs 18:10).
