EVERY BIT OF IT.—

One evening at a prayer-meeting, many newly converted persons, both old and young, arose to tell what God had done for their souls, and their determination to love and serve him. Among the rest, a little girl about seven years old jumped up, her face beaming with happiness, and, straining her childish voice to speak as loud as she could, she said “I have given my heart to Jesus, every bit of it.”
Was not that a beautiful little-speech? I wonder if all the older people who had risen before could say what she did—“I have given my heart to Jesus, every bit of it.”
And is not this what Jesus wants? “My son, give me thine heart,” is the command of the Bible. And will he be satisfied with having only a part of it? No, indeed; he must have the whole—“every bit of it.”—Sel.
