This is a story is about a little boy named Bobby. He was crossing one of our busiest streets. When a big vehicle came around the corner and knocked him down. He was badly injured, they rushed him to the hospital. In the emergency room there was a little boy named James who Bobby went to school with. Now James knew about Jesus. Bobby was in great pain, and it was feared that he would die. James said to Bobby; I have heard that someday after we die, Jesus will come and take us to Heaven where there is no more pain, and everyone is happy. At the mission they told us that you only have to ask Jesus and He will take you to Heaven with Him. But I couldn’t ask a big man like that, said Bobby. He wouldn’t listen to me.
“Oh, Yes He would,” said James, but you don’t have to ask Him. Just put your hand in the air, like we do at school, when He comes through the hospital. They say He comes through every evening when the lights are turned down. When the evening came, the nurse went around the ward and turned out some of the lights. I think it is nearly time said James. Put your hand up Bobby. Bobby tried to do so, but he was weak. He couldn’t manage it. Every time he tried to put his hand up, it fell down. James crept out of his bed, and with a pillow, he managed to prop up Bobby’s hand so that it wouldn’t fall down. “Thank you, James, murmured Bobby.
Do you think Jesus will see my hand? I am sure He will, said James. In the morning the little hand was still there. Bobby was gone to Heaven. The Dear Blessed Lord Jesus knows every detail of our lives. Still, He loves us. It is never the end with Jesus.
The Lord’s love never ends; his mercies never stop. They are new every morning; Lord, your loyalty is great. I say to myself, “The Lord is mine, so I hope in him.”
