A Drowning Child
Oswald J. Smith said, "Can we travail for a drowning child, but not for a perishing soul? It is not hard to weep when we realize that our little one is sinking below the surface for the last time. Anguish is spontaneous then. Ah, tears are natural at such a time. But oh, to realize and know that souls, precious, never dying souls, are perishing all around us, going out into the blackness of darkness and despair, eternally lost, and yet to feel no anguish, shed no tears, know no travail! How cold are our hearts!" Let's ask God to forgive us for such coldness toward this perishing world, and then let's show our concern by reaching out with the words of eternal life. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
