Faith of Innocence
Posted by Melody Calhoun on Wednesday, January 13, 2010
And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple; and He healed them.
And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were sore displeased,
And said unto Him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Matthew 21:14-16 ~ Jesus' Words in italic
I was wondering if God hears my four-year-old daughter's faith like he does older Christians, those of us who are able to read the Bible, pray, and respond to His calling. Then the other night, I was having some strange pains that keep reoccuring. I asked my husband to pray for me. He did with the girls right there watching and listening.
That night as I was lying by them trying to get them to go to sleep, Aleseya told me, "You don't have to worry, momma. God has you in His hands, and He IS holding you. He Will make where you hurt get better. He Loves you." All I could say is, "Thank you, baby," while in my heart I was thanking the Lord for giving her such a complete trust in His Love and grace. I thought of this Bible verse once again:
Train up a child in the Way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs22:6
