We had a very special day at Church today. Brian and I have started to work with the kids, so we were in children's church this morning. After the worship time, the kids get some "be still and know" time. They are to spread out in the room and have some quiet time with God. After about 2 min (an eternity to a kid!) they are asked if anyone has anything they feel God wants the group to know. Brianna JUMPED up and ran to the front! I wasn't sure what she was going to say or if she would get nervous and not say anything at all. When it was her turn to speak, she said very clearly into the microphone:
"I feel that God wants everyone to know that if you are lonely that you don't have to be because He says He is always with you."
So, of couse, I started to have tears run down my face. I was so proud, yet so humbled by my little girl and how she obeyed what God wanted her to do. I have not a doubt in my mind that there was a child or two in the group that really needed to hear that, and maybe a grown-up too! As adults, we truly lose that childlike faith of "if God says it, then thats it".
How old is your faith?
