OK, here is the answer to the “not-to-tough riddle” from a couple days ago.
We have been talking to my oldest for quite some time about what it means to be a Christian. We told her about the sin we are all plagued with, and the need for repentance. We talked about asking Jesus into her heart, and becoming a follower. After that, we pretty much left the issue up to her. We wanted this decision to be her own.
A few months ago, she asked my wife about how she asked Jesus into her heart. She told her.
The next night, she asked me all about it. I told her.
A few night’s later she asked my wife how it felt when Jesus came into her heart. She told her all about it.
Some time has past, but on Saturday night, she asked us about it again, and said she wanted to do it herself.
We led her as she prayed.
Afterwards, I explained that she is a child of God, just like me. “I guess that sort of makes us like Brother and Sister” I said. She just smiled. “However, I’m still your daddy down here”.
