So my 4 almost 5 year old went to church last weekend with my parents and my mom told me that on the way home she cried and said "I don't want to die" and how she didn't want her grnadma and her mommy to die. The next day she said to me "mommy are you gonna die?" I answered her someday but not food a long time, and when I die I will go to heaven because I believe in Jesus and I have asked him to live in my heart and my life. Kyleigh listened intently. I talked to her about heaven and about how Keys died on the cross for our sins, how we don't have to die how one day our body will die but we will go to Heaven. I then asked her if she would like to pray to ask God in her heart she said yes. So I said I will pray and you repeat me...
Dear Jesus, I know you are real, I know that you died on the cross for my sins so that I can have eternal life, I ask you now into my heart, into my life. Amen.
And word for word she repeated. I was a little choked up, and felt joy. Hours later McKenzie came home from school and Kyleigh said "In not gonna die, my body will but I'm going to Heaven, right mommy?... And I responded with a smile "that's right baby".
God our father gave his only son so that we may have eternal life forever.
John 3:16 For God loved the world so much that he gave one and only Son, so that everyone that believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
