The child looked at him in shocked surprise, and cried, Oh, please dont talk that
way about my Book. My mother is sick in bed, and this book is our only comfort.
All I do is take away peoples hopes. No God, no Christ, no heaven, no hell.
Reality Opens a Heart
The simple words spoken by the girl set William Hone thinking. Those poor, simple
people, he said to himself, are in trouble; the mother sick, the child young, and
yet they have found something real in that Book; they have got something on whi
ch to live and die. What could I give them that would be a comfort now, or a sup
port in death? All I do is take away peoples hopes. No God, no Christ, no heaven,
no hell. And what have I for myself but nothing, instead of something real?
William Hone began to study the Book, and was saved with an everlasting salvatio
n. It became his greatest joy to tell to others what great things God had done f
or him. On the flyleaf of his Bible he wrote the following words:
The proudest heart that ever beat
Has been subdued in me.
Have you carefully read and thought about Gods Word, the Bible? Do you take time
when alone to see in it what Gods thoughts of sin and salvation are? He loves you
, and He wants to save you and to satisfy your heart forever.
I am come that they might have life and that they have it more abundantly (John 10
:10).
