TWO WILLING PARTIES A very fashionable wedding was scheduled for a Saturday afternoon in a large San Francisco church. Every thing seemed to proceed normally until the bride was asked the traditional question, “Do you take this man to be your lawful, wedded husband?” There was an enbarrassingly long pause, after which she replied, “Well, I don’t know. I just can’t make up my mind.” Start led, the pastor wisely stepped in front of the couple and announced to the audience, “Ladies and gentlemen, there w ill be no wedding today.” Des pite the hundreds of dollars worth of food for the reception, the entire cere mony was cancelled. In order for any marriage to be finalized there must be a legal acceptance on the part of both parties through the words “l w ill” or “1 do.” This is also true spiritually. God asks, “W ill you have my Son to be your Saviour?” The answer must be definite. For as many as received Him to them gives He the power to become the sons of God. Have you taken this step of faith, and made this greatest of all decisions? Incidentally, w ithin a week the bride returned to the preacher explaining, “/ was just nervous. Now my mind is really made up. I do want this man to be my law fully wedded husband.” The marriage did take place. h Many of us know we have a Saviour but all too few of us really know the Saviour that we have. ■k h
Baptize your heart in fellowship with Christ before you attempt to wade into the stream of daily life. * * * It is amazing what God can do with a broken heart if we are sure to give Him all of the pieces. * * * WHICH ARE YOU? Bees and butterflys both exist on nectar from flowers, darting here and there. Entomologists tell us that butter flies, unlike bees, only satisfy them selves with superficial sweetness, never delving too far into the flower. The honey bee, however, goes right to the core. In fact, if the flower is closed the bee w ill even exert itself to explore the innermost recesses, seeking out more for its larder. The butterfly w ill generally die in October while the bee is safe in its hive along with the fra grant nectar it has diligently acquired. Too many so called Christians are like the butterfly, flitting from this portion of God’s Word to another, never gain ing any real spiritual depth or under standing. We need to devour the Word. The Psalmist exhorted, “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.” * * * Worry comes through human interference with the divine plan. * * * READ THE BIBLE THROUGH God sent me a letter years ago, I hoped it was true. I read snatches here and there but never read it through. The letter was so long it made a black bound book; I was busy with other things and just had time to look. I drifted on, then sorrow came. I didn't know what to do. So I opened the letter that God sent and I started reading it through. Now I'm walking the way of the Cross, the Letter from God is my Guide, I'll keep it and read it as long as I live for I've found Christ inside. * * * Don't major on the minor things of life. 19
