I’m going to read this every day

This is what she said to me.

Tonight, I decided it was time. Now, I bought these books about two years ago. I figured I’d introduce her to what it means to be a Christ follower later; when she was mature enough to understand. Of course we talk about Jesus everyday and we talk about the Holy Spirit in her heart. It’s a common language around here.

Also, she prays daily about forgiveness and her feelings if she has guilt. She knows that God forgives her and drops it in the ocean. She also knows we are ALL sinners. She knows that Jesus died for her. BUT, has she ever heard the WHOLE story? Does she get why it is so hard to be kind, obedient, or well-behaved?

These books go through them pretty well and provides the big picture, filling in the blanks.

It also complements her little Adventure Bible which we read nightly. I’m trying to just give her deep roots of memory verses and APPLICATION of what it means. They mean nothing if we don’t live it out and BE the people of Jesus.

So, I weeped the whole time as we read these. I was 24 when I was introduced to Jesus. Why didn’t anyone pull me aside at 5? She may stray, but she has the truth and she’ll never forget the day SHE PRAYED for HIM to be her Savior.
