Albert Midlane, the author of that little hymn “There’s a Friend for Little Children,” was talking one day to a little girl who loved the Lord Jesus.
“Mr. Midlane,” she said. “I would like to take my Bible to heaven with me.”
“And why would you like to do that, little one?”
“While I am there, I would point to His own words ‘Come unto Me.’”
That was her own personal invitation from the Lord Jesus. And He wants it to be your invitation too.
It is a good thing to have a verse of our very own from God’s word. If you were asked if you were going to be in Heaven, what would you say? Could you turn to a Bible verse as that little girl did? If you are not yet sure you are saved, get your Bible now, and look up Matthew 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28). Put your finger on that verse and make it your very own invitation to heaven.
“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
I AM SO glad that our Father in heaven
Tells of His love in the Book He has given;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see:
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.
Jesus loves me, and I know I love Him,
Love brought Him down my poor soul to redeem;
Yes, it was love made Him die on the tree,
Oh, I am certain that Jesus loves me.
