Him!

I read this story in 'Real Stories for the Soul' by Robert J. Morgan.

The devotional writer Samuel D. Gordon knew a woman who had memorized much of the Bible, but old age began taking her memory from her. At last, she could only remember one verse of Scripture, 2 Timothy 1:12: "For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and an persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him that day." In time, she began to lose that verse, too, being able to only recall the words: . . . what I have committed to Him." When she came to her deathbed, her loved ones noticed her lips moving. Bending low, they heard her repeating on solitary word over and over: Him, Him, Him. Dr. Gordon noted that she had lost the whole Bible but one word. But in that one word, she had the whole Bible.
