When God made your body, he put your soul inside. Are you glad of that? When God made the dogs, he put no soul like yours inside their bodies, and they cannot think of God.
Can I see your soul?—No; I cannot see it. No one can see it but God. He knows what you are thinking of now.
Which is the best, your soul or your body?—Your soul is a great deal the best. Why is your soul the best?—Your body can die, but your soul cannot die.
Shall I tell you what your body is made of?—Of dust. God made the dust into flesh and blood.
What is your soul made of?—Your soul, or spirit, is made of the breath of God.
That little dog will die some day. Its body will be thrown away. The dog will be quite gone when its body is dead. But when your body dies, your soul will be alive, and you will not be quite gone.
Where would you be put if you were dead?—Your body would be put in a hole in the ground, but your soul would not be in the hole. Even a baby has a soul, or spirit.
One day as I was walking in the streets, I saw a man carrying a box. Some people were walking behind, crying. There was a dead baby in the box. Was the soul of the baby in the box?—No; its soul was gone up to God.
Will you not thank God for giving you a spirit? Will you not ask Him to take your spirit to live with him when your body dies?
