"But Jesus said,
Suffer little children,
and forbid them not,
to come unto me:
for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 19:14
"I wonder what God looks like?..........Mommy, what does God look like?"
"Well, Angelina, we don't really know what God looks like..." (as Mommy removes all distractions sensing the importance of the moment)
"I don't want to go to the 'bad place' and I want to go to Heaven"
"Well, do you know how to know for sure you WILL go to Heaven?"
"Ask Jesus in my heart?"
"Exactly..." (as Mommy tearfully and happily repeats the familiar story of our sinful nature, God's beautiful and FREE gift on Calvary of His dearly beloved Son, and our need to acknowledge this gift and confirm our sinful state and need of Christ, and believe that He can and will save us)
"I want to do that right now, Mommy"
"Likewise, I say unto you,
there is joy in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner that repenteth."
Luke 15:10
