What do you do without a mother to tell your troubles to?” said a child who had a mother, to one whose mother was dead.
“Mother told me whom to go to before she died,” answered the little orphan. “I go to the Lord Jesus. He was mother’s friend, and He is mine.”
“Jesus Christ is up in the sky; He is far away, and has a great many things to attend to in heaven. It is not likely He can stop to mind you.”
“I do not know about that,” said the orphan; “all I know is, He says He will, and that is enough for me.”
The orphan was right. God’s ear is open to babes, as to young men and fathers.
