The Bible records the words of Jesus in Matthew 18:3-4 - "I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven," and I have the privilege of having two little girls right now in my life so looking at things like a little child happens often for me.
Last night, Bayley and I came into the family room together at the same time that Savanah was beginning to take apart the Monkey that Bayley and I had made with Bend-a-roos the night before. All of the sudden the waterworks in both their sets of eyes let out!
Bayley was crying because the Monkey was being torn apart while Savanah was crying because she was in trouble for tearing the Bend-a-roo Monkey apart. Those tears flowed so freely from both of them I was speechless.
Today, a past member of New Life whom I never met before, came into the office to see the changes that we have made since his departure. We talked for a little while, or I listened might be more appropriate :-).
He told me he was married for 50 years and when I asked for 1 key reason, he said because they found Jesus!! All of a sudden the tears started forming in his eyes and you could see the waterworks wanting to let out as he told his story of amazing life transformation!!
That man was really a child. A child of God's who will most definitely be entering the Kingdom of Heaven!
(The Bend-a-roos Monkey was repaired and doing well, thanks for asking)
