Childlike faith


Well tonight as I came home from a meeting I was greeted by 3 screaming kids yelling "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!". Toby then with a look of sheer excitement tells me, "I got saved!". Wow!!! After some very deep questions Toby has asked Jesus to be his personal savior. Over the past few weeks he has had many a thought provoking question, and tonight he put all the answers together and asked Mary "Mom, am I saved?". Well like any good mother she then helped him to fully understand the question, and of course the answer. He gave me a good explanation as I asked him what that means. So tonight rejoice with us as Toby has stepped out with child like faith and as we all must do and begin to trust Jesus as our savior.

And now you are no longer a slave but God's child . And since you are his child , God has made you his heir.
