A few weeks ago, while driving down the road, Addie told us to turn the radio down. We did, and she informed us that she needed to go get baptized. Brandon and I looked at each other, and I spoke up and asked her why she thought she needed to be baptized. She told us that she asked Jesus to live in her heart. Brandon and I wanted to make sure she understood how profound of a statement she was making, so we asked her if she knew what that meant. She told us, very clearly, that she was a sinner and He died on the cross to save her. Wow. Later that night, Brandon and I discussed it with each other. We weren't sure if she really understood, even though she told us very clearly and with understanding. After reading from the book of Matthew, it became very clear to me that this denial placed in my mind was definitely a ploy from the enemy. Because Matthew 19:14 says, "Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
I read that verse again. And again. It was so clear. Like crystal.
You see, that verse says "JESUS SAID". Jesus Himself said it. THE ONE WHO SAVES. THE ONE WHO SHE CLAIMED AS HER SAVIOR.
He said to
let them come. The
little children. And my Addie is just that--a little child. And that's okay because she knows who saves and she knows why. Lord, please forgive me for questioning her in an attempt from the enemy to plant doubt in my mind. Because You are the one who told us not to hinder the children from coming to You.
The angels are rejoicing. And so am I.
