"
"How, sir?"
"Pray to Him. Tell the Lord your trouble, and ask Him to make
it all right for you. Did you never pray to Him?"
"No, sir — not ever."
"My lamb," said Mr. Dinwiddie, "He will hear you, if you never
prayed to Him before. I will show you the word of His
promise." And he opened a pocket-Bible and found the place of
these words which he gave Daisy to read : "I will put a new
spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of
their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh; that they
may walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do
them: and they shall be My people, and I will be their God."
"Now is that what you want, Daisy?"
"Yes, sir; only I don't know how."
"Never mind; the Lord knows. He will make it all right, if
only you are willing to give yourself to be His little
servant."
"I will give Him all I have got, sir," said Daisy, looking up.
"Very well; then I will show you one thing more — it is a word
of the Lord Jesus. See — 'If ye love Me, keep My
commandments.' Now I want you to keep those two words, and you
can't remember where to find them again — I must let you take
this book with you." And Mr. Dinwiddie folded down leaves in
the two places.
