IT may be for papa or mama that the dear children are at the window, watching. Their happy faces tell how glad they will be to see their loved one come.
I wonder if each of my little readers have a loved one they are watching for? I can tell you, there is One who loves
you, and He is waiting for the time when He can come to take those who have put their trust in Him, to be with Himself. Can you tell me who that is? I think I hear someone say, It is the Lord Jesus. Yes, He is the One who said, “Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not.”
Some did not want the little children to be brought to the Lord Jesus, but He let them know that He loved them, and He took them up in His arms and blessed them.
But now, another question, Do you love Him? I am sure some of my readers do, and such can be watching for the Lord to come. He has said to such, “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour.” Matt. 25:1313Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 25:13). We cannot say just when the Lord will come, but He has given us another word. He has said, “Behold I come quickly” (Rev. 22:77Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. (Revelation 22:7).)
O, dear reader, are you ready to go when the Lord comes, or will you be one of those who will be left behind? The only way to be ready is to accept the Lord Jesus as your Savior, and then you will be one of His, and when He comes He will take you. If you are His, are you watching for Him to come?
