A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM
A nine- year-old who had leukemia was given six months to live. When the doctor broke the news to her parents outside her hospital room, the youngster overheard the doctor’s words. But it did not become obvious until later that she knew about her condition. To everyone’s surprise, her faith in Christ gave her an attitude of victory. She talked freely about her death with anticipation in her voice. As she grew weaker, it seemed that her joy became more radiant. One day before she sank into a final coma, she said to her family, “I am going to be the first to see Jesus! What would you like me to tell Him for you?” Doyal Van Gelder, Friendship Baptist Church, Prior Lake, MN
