"I do believe!" she thought; and that evening, as she fell on her knees, she felt for the first time what it was to call God Our Father. Her whole heart glowed with gratitude and love to him who had so loved her. She laid her down to sleep with the eye of her heavenly Father upon her. She awoke in the morning and felt that he was near. Everything made her happy, because God sent everything, and God loved her. The streams, the woods, the flowers--they had never looked half so bright, for she felt that God had made them, and God had so loved her. At school, at her tasks,--everywhere she was happy as a bird, for God was everywhere. She could not feel cross, for God was near, _and he loved her_. She could fight with her faults now, for the Almighty was by to help her. Little children! thousands of little children have had their hearts changed and made happy, just as Amy's was; and _so may yours_. Only believe the love that God has to you, and you must love him; and be his dear and happy child. Transcriber's Note Minor punctuation errors have been repaired.
