The Gospel

Tonight was the very first time we shared "The Gospel" with ella. We talk to Jesus everyday. We pray in the morning. We sing songs about how much he loves us. We pray when we see an ambulance that Jesus would comfort those inside. We thank Him for our meals before we eat. We acknowledge that he made our beautiful day and we should thank him for it. We talk about how he made her hair red like mommy's and eliza's like daddy's. We read books where Jesus healed the blind man and was born in a manger. We pray to Him as we go to bed, thanking Him for our day and praying for those in need. Jesus is a part of our day. She knows He is with us and we can talk to him.

Tonight was the first time we shared with her that Jesus died for us. We used a very simple Easter picture book that I bought at The Christian Bookstore. She didn't like the spears in the soldiers hands and was very worried about Jesus on the Cross. The last picture shows that Jesus is alive and showed red dots on his hands where the nails had been. She kept saying, Oh no...Oh dear!" We assured her that Jesus was fine and that He is ALIVE...that is why we can talk to him everyday!

As we prayed tonight, I couldn't hold back my tears, and I assure you that I am not a super emotional person either! This is "The Gospel!" The truth that can save her soul! We prayed that these seeds would take root and that one day when her little heart is ready, she would give it to the Lord! We prayed that roots from these seeds would grow down deep in her heart and transform her life! We prayed once again that she would grow know Christ in a real and personal way! I have no greater hope for her life.
