DAISY IS a little girl seven years old — such a happy, rosy-cheeked child, and she loves fun as much as any little girl I know. One afternoon as we were coming home from our Sunday school, and she was skipping along at my side, I asked her, “Does my little friend Daisy love Jesus?”
“Oh, yes,” she said. “I do!”
“But why do you love Him?” I asked.
She looked up in my face as if quite surprised I should ask such a question, and then, with a bright, happy smile on her face, and in a tone full of glad certainty, she said, “Why do I love Jesus? Because He loved me so much before I loved Him, and He died for me.”
What a sweet answer! Happy little Daisy! She knows the meaning of that beautiful text, “We love Him, because He first loved us.” 1 John 4: 19. He loved us “while we were yet sinners,” Rom. 5:88But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8), (and made us nigh by His own blood). Eph. 2:1313But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:13).
