Jesus Loves You

By F. M.

ONE hot summer day I saw a flock of sheep running as tho for life. I knew the bugs were at them; but there was a cripple in that flock, that could not keep up with the rest. Lonely and suffering, it lagged far behind. My heart went out in sympathy to that sheep. That rushing flock made me think that that was sometimes the case with God’s people, bitten by the serpent, suffering from sin, rushing from its contaminating influence, and its awful dangers, thinking perhaps (if not saying) that the one who lags behind is forever lost.

Poor, despairing, distracted soul, you are the very one the great Shepherd is most solicitous for. He will not leave you behind. He will carry you on His shoulder. Crippled by sin and failure tho you may be, Jesus loves you. F. M.
