On Sunday morning, Caedmon brought his children's Bible to Grandpa and asked him to read a story to him. Grandpa read about Nicodemus coming to Jesus and Jesus telling him he must be born again.
Caedmon said "I've done that! When I went to Lwiito's house (Maxwell & Priscilla's) last week, I went outside the house and I prayed and I asked Jesus to come into my heart!" We asked him, "Why did you do that?" And he said "Because the teachers at school said that if I ask Him, Jesus will come into my heart and make it clean. And I asked Him so I know He's there!"
Praise God for this simple, childlike understanding of why we need Jesus! We pray that Caedmon continues to grow to love Jesus and desire to serve Him!
Laurie and I rejoice with you all. That is so awesome! Tell Caedmon we are proud of him.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! What a joy. My favorite part of a child's faith is: how simple it is and how obvious. Don't you wish we got it so clearly as adults! I know the angels are rejoicing and the Long's are too!
