Each night before her four children went to sleep, Mommy had each one repeat the Bible verse that they had been given to memorize for Sunday school the following Sunday. The verse for this week was Proverbs 15:33The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15:3): “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.”
After each of the children had said the verse, Mommy tucked them into bed, kissed them good-night and went into her own room. Before long she heard someone whimpering and went to see who it was. The three boys were sound asleep, but Esther was crying.
“What’s the matter?” Mommy asked her sad little girl.
“Oh, Mommy, it’s the eyes, the eyes,” she cried.
“What eyes?” asked Mommy.
“The eyes of the Lord. They’re in every place and they’re looking at all my sins!” sobbed Esther.
“Why don’t you ask the Lord Jesus to wash your sins away, and then He won’t see them anymore.”
Mommy couldn’t have made a better suggestion, for we read in God’s Word, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:1212Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)), and, “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)).
Esther got up, knelt by her bed and asked the Lord Jesus to come into her heart and wash her sins away in His precious blood.
He wants to do the same for you. Will you come to Him in simple faith like Esther did?
