The Bruised ReedI...
Illustration
The Bruised Reed was written many years ago in England by a man named Sibbs. A Christian tin peddler distributed many of these tracts; he laid one of them on the table of a Mr. Baxter. His son, Richard Baxter, found it, read it and then wrote Saint's Rest. Through this book Phillip Doddridge became a Christian. Doddridge then wrote The Rise And Progress Of Religion In The Soul. This book was read by William Wilberforce and led to his conversion. Wilberforce did much for the poor of England and is credited with being a major force in the elimination of slavery in the British colonies. He also wrote A Practical View Of Christianity.
One can hardly measure the influence of a tin peddler who thought he was a nobody. Ruth also considered herself a nobody, but God used her to be in his plan of salvation.
Every person is of great value and worth in the sight of God, and the Almighty can use each one of us in a special way.
