Waiting and Watching

 
THIS little boy is perhaps waiting for his dear papa to come home. There he sits on the window-sill, looking as far off as he can see, to catch the first sight of the one he is waiting for. We may be sure he loves that one, or he would not sit so patiently and watch.
Dear reader, are you waiting and watching for any one?
There is One who loves you very much, and He has told us that He is coming soon to take all His loved ones to be forever with Himself.
Do you know who that is? Many of you can answer that it is the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, there is no one who loves as He does, and He wants our love, and wants us to be waiting and watching for Him to come for us. Are you doing so? Just according to our love to Him, will we be watching for Him.
What a blessed moment it will be, for those who love the Lord Jesus, when they see Him who loved them so much as to die for them on Calvary’s cross. The Scripture says,
“WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US.” 1 John 4:1919We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19).
May we all think much of His love to us; and that will draw out our love to Him; and then, not knowing what moment He will come, we shall watch while waiting for Him to come, as He has told us:
