In a previous post I talked in detail about the Colley's trip to Ohio. One thing I did not mention was the appointment that my little girl made with Jesus for her Salvation. She told me on Monday that she was going to ask Jesus in her heart on Friday of that week. Her mom and I sat down with her and shared several Bible verses with her and left it at that. She spent the next several weeks asking difficult questions. We were very serious about not persuading her to make a decision. We did not want her to do something and then when she is older question her what she had chosen to do. It was bedtime September 12th and Abbey told me that she wanted to be saved. I told her that it was bedtime and she just need to go to sleep. With a few more comments she talked me into sitting down and telling her again how she could be saved so I sat with her once again and began to read the scriptures to her. I read "whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, and from her bed she shouted "Jesus"! I was actually shocked. She proclaimed "I'm saved". I continued to read the scriptures to her and made sure that she was aware that sin is why we need a Savior and that she took some ownership in that. She stood by her bed bowed her head and prayed, "Jesus please take all this sin outta me"! I was floored. It is really that simple. Jesus provided Salvation to my sweet little daughter. I am so amazed by Jesus. To God Be The Glory Great Things He Has Done!
