Every night after we pray with Amelia, I usually lay with her for a few minutes. We also talk about a bible story, her favorites being David and Goliath, Jesus calming the sea, and Daniel. A couple times she just wants to talk about Jesus. Last night, it was King David.
She mentioned the King David had a heart for God. Yes, Amelia. And we talked about what that meant. Confused, she then asked, "but don't we all have hearts of sin?" Yes, Amelia. We then talked about how we all sin but ... "Jesus can give us a clean heart, right mom?" Yes, Amelia. We talked about how since Jesus loves us, we can ask him to make us clean and give us a new heart. "Can I ask Jesus for a new heart?" Yes, Amelia.
Amelia prayed by herself last night, Thanking God for helping her have a happy heart, helping her to remember to use the potty, and asked for a new heart. I prayed with her thanking God for Amelia, and her desire to know and understand more ... Thank you, Jesus, for giving us new hearts!
He didn't just clean up our old self, but we are NEW creations! a NEW heart.
Amen and Amen.
Would Amelia like to teach my Sunday School class some time?
