I just wanted to quickly share with you that this morning my 5-year-old (almost 6-year-old) daughter asked Jesus to come and live in her heart
We are going through a book called "Leading Little Ones to God" in our homeschool and we're almost finished with it (just 2 more lessons left in it). Today's lesson was about the parable of the wheat and the tares. We have been talking over the past week about what a true child of God is - someone who has realized that they are a sinner and that they need Jesus to save them from their sins and help them live for Him.
The lesson went on to talk about when Jesus somes back and the question was "Will you be afraid when He comes back?". I asked the question and DD said, "I have to go into my room and pray!!" When she came back I asked her what she prayed about and she didn't want to tell me becasue she would start crying and then I would start crying. I asked her if it was a good thing or a bad thing and she said "a good thing!" Then she told me, "I asked Jesus to come into my heart!". And we both cried together.
Yay!!!!! I am just so thrilled and all our other school work this morning seems so trivial!
So happy for you all! I still think back to the day when Lola did the same and I get choked up! I know for me it meant so much more, as I didn't know Jesus unitl I was an adult, Rejoicing with you, Heather!
But the seed on good soil stands for those with an honest and good heart. They hear the message. They keep it in their hearts. They remain faithful and produce a good crop.
