childlike faith

I am rejoicing with the angels and my Father in Heaven!!!!! Our Zachary asked Jesus to come into his heart tonight!! Jesus made it so simple that my precious, 5 year old was able to understand that all he had to do was ask!!! It amazes me that the older we get, the more we try to analize everything. Jesus said that all we had to do was confess with our mouth and believe in our heart and we would be saved.

We were talking about Heaven tonight and Zachary said he wanted to go there. Dylan was telling him that he had to be saved. Zachary, being only 5, didn't really know what that meant, but he knew that he wanted to live with Jesus because he "likes Him and loves Him". He told me that He knew that Jesus loved him even more than he loves Jesus. Zachary has been talking about asking Jesus to come into his heart for quite some time now. As parents, it's hard because we never wanted to push him into this decision, but we also never wanted to discourage him from making the biggest decision of his life! I told him that when he was ready, to let Mama and/or Daddy know and we would pray with him. He looked me in the eye and said, and I quote, "I'm ready now, Mama!" Such determination in that little face and those eyes that I quickly decided to place it in the LORD'S hands!!! I told him what he needed to say and he said, "I know" and with that, he started praying and as he was, he was crying! I believe that he knew what he was doing!!! It was as simple as telling Jesus that he wanted to Him to live in his heart for the rest of his life and to take him to Heaven when he dies and then he said, "I love you, Jesus!" ~ and with that, Mama began to cry!!

Oh, my cup runneth over ~ thank you, Father, for your forgiveness and for your faithfulness. You showed me tonight that these things aren't in my timing but Yours! I put these precious boys in your hands and pray that both Dylan and Zachary live their lives to honor and glorify you in all they do. I pray that I am an example that they can follow. Forgive me for the times that my life wasn't Your mirror and thank you for second chances!

My heart is full!!
