Jesus

Since Auntie Brittany passed away there has been a lot of questions from Darian about death, sickness & heaven. So far I think she has been understanding most of it and trying to comprehend our explanations. Every couple of days she gets upset about missing her Auntie and asks to go visit her in heaven. Going to bed the other night she asked how does she get to go to heaven to see Brittany and I explained that she had to ask Jesus to live in her heart. She prayed that He would come in and live in her heart and has been so excited about it and talks about it all the time. (Made my heart so happy to sit next to her bed as she prayed) Tonight, tucking her in for bed we were reading the story of Samson in her new Bible she got during soccer and after reading the condensed childrens version she pointed at the picture of Samson and said 'should I ask him in my heart also?' I responded 'no, Jesus is the only one we ask to live in our heart, he is the most important of all the people in the Bible' and she responded 'OK he (Samson) might push Jesus over and that wouldn't be good'. No wonder He talks about the Faith of a child.
