LITTLE EDWARD has started in quite young to try to represent on paper the various things he sees around him. It is quite interesting to his sisters and older brother, and they watch him to see what kind of work he will make of it.
We are all representing something, or someone, in our lives down here, so we are either good or poor artists, To Christians God’s Word says, “Be ye therefore followers of God as dear children,” Ephesians 5:11Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; (Ephesians 5:1).
You must be one of His children to be a follower, or imitator. You know whether you are His or not, whether He has washed away your sins in His blood and made you His child. If you are a Christian may you seek to be good imitators of the Lord Jesus, for He was the perfect One in everything, and was the full revelation of God to us. True happiness is to be found in this path alone.
Some of the things to imitate in the Lord Jesus are His lowliness and meekness. His gentleness and love, His perfect obedience to His Father, and His delight to do His Father’s will.
“A little while”—He’ll come again;
Let us the precious hours redeem
Our only grief to give Him pain,
Our joy to serve and follow Him.
Watching and ready may we be
As those who wait their Lord to see.
