The Lovely One
“What are the loveliest things you know, not counting persons?” a man asked some children one day. They wrote their answers down on paper. One girl wrote: an organ playing, red roofs in trees, rain on your cheeks, red velvet. A boy had on his list: looking into deep clear water, the taste of strawberries, a mounted policeman’s horse, a bird singing.
If you were asked to name the loveliest person you know, whom would you say? Could you say from your heart, “My Savior, Jesus Christ?” He is called in the Bible:
The rose of Sharon
The lily of the valleys
The chiefest among ten thousand
The one altogether lovely
Is He the “Lovely One” to you? Everyone who really knows the Lord Jesus discovers that He is more lovely and precious than words can tell!
