A 3 yo's Faith

I had to hop on and post this because I just heard J reading a book and talking to herself: "When I am afraid I will trust in you."

It's a verse from a Steve Green Scripture Memory song and one that J has taken to heart really well.

When she gets nervous at night, she is upfront about it. "I'm afraid of the dark Mum", I remind her of the verse and she declares it aloud: "When I am afraid I will trust in you."

"Who is you?" I asked one time.

"God - when I am afraid I will trust in God."

I was so amazed and touched. A 3 yo who feels the tug of God on her heart and can respond in her own words...wow!

Last night as we settled down to sleep, she again mentioned her fear of the dark and we went through the exercise of reciting her favorite verse. Then Beth said she couldn't sleep because of nightmares she's had the past couple of nights.

So we prayed for God to give His peace and protection to the children and for His angels to stand guard at our bedside.

One verse flowed into another, and suddenly J was saying: "Jesus is the Son of God. He died on the cross for me and for you and for jie jie and for Daddy."

Hallelujah!!
