His Little Ones

"Those who accept Christ as their personal Savior are not left as orphans, to bear the trials of life alone.

He receives them as members of the heavenly family; He bids them call His Father their Father.

They are His "little ones,"
--dear to the heart of God,
--bound to Him by the most tender and abiding ties.

He has toward them an exceeding tenderness, as far surpassing what our father or mother has felt toward us in our helplessness, as the divine is above the human.

The rest that Christ offers depends upon conditions, but these conditions are plainly specified. They are those with which all can comply.

Q: Are you wounded?
A: He will heal.
The Lord "telleth the number of the stars;" and yet "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds."[PS. 147:4, 3.]."
E.G.W.
