In the Book


In recent days I have been reading about Revelation to the older two boys.  Last night we discussed the "Book of Life".  My 6 year old inquired as to how his name could be written in the Book of Life.  He was eager to pray the prayer.  I know the Lord is working in his heart and I am so thankful.  As we prayed, I wanted to make sure that he understood that there are really 3 components to salvation.  The components we went over were #1 He is a sinner.  #2  He believes that Jesus died on the cross for his sins.  #3  He wants to live his life for God daily.  This is something that my pastor in Edmond went over and over and I love it.  Today I bought him a nice black leather Bible with his name on it.  I gave it to him when I picked him up from school.  His face was priceless.  Thank you God for my precious 6 year old.   Please continue to work in his life and may he be used in mighty ways for your kingdom.
