All are welcome ( John 6 v 37 )

Following on as regards Dr Barnardo,,early on in the work he was doing,a child called Carrot came and asked to be allowed to stay in the shelter he ran. Unfortunately  there was no room, he gave the boy sixpence to get something to eat,assured him that when a place opened up he would let him stay. Little Carrot went away,found somewhere to sleep, in an empty sugar barrel.It was very cold next morning he was found dead, due to exhaustion,exposure and lack of food.When Dr. Barnardo heard this he vowed to never turn another child away. He had a large notice painted above the door of the house. It said; NO DESTITUTE CHILD IS EVER REFUSED ADMITTANCE.These words remind us  of what our Saviour said,''Anyone who comes to Me I will never drive away'' ( John 6 v 37 ). Consider the word anyone,without exception, be you a child,poor, rich,an addict, a criminal ,anyone,the wonderful news is Christ came to save sinners,go to Him confessing your sin and He will forgive you.
