She had learned about Jesus in
Sunday School and at home as well.
One evening the girl asked her mom,
"Can I ask Jesus into my heart?"
After discussing the ins and outs of
What her request meant, the
Mother listened as her dear daughter
Prayed a simple prayer to give her
Life to Jesus.
Her sister followed suit.
My daughters are grown,now, with children
Of their own, but their childhood commitment
"Stuck."
They are both still walking with Jesus.
My girls' ability to understand the gospel at
Such a tender age is why I don't discount the
Sincere prayers of the children who trusted Jesus
This week in Bible School.
They don't fully understand what knowing
Him is all about.
I don't either.
But it's a first step.
And I pray that the decisions of these
Young ones will "stick."
"Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to
me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of
heaven belongs to such as these.'" Matthew 19:14
