Best day of my life. I was out in the shop lining up a Kreiger in the lathe and I was explaining to my daughter (5 years old) what the indicators were and how they worked. I was telling her that the indicators always tell the truth, and they never lie, so you must never lie to yourself about what they are telling you. (That's me, always making an object lesson out of work LOL!)
As we watched the indicators shake their fingers at us, and I made adjustments, she started talking to me. At first I thought it was just normal 5 year old babel, but I listened in shock as she started telling me that she needed to be right with God and how she "needed to be on the right track"
I have never pushed Christianity on her, and never told her that one day she must do this. I did not allow her to take communion with us at church, but explained by telling her that she just wasn't big enough yet.
So it was a bit of a shock to hear her telling me that she was convicted about her sins. Of course, I'm thinking "what could this little girl possibly be convicted over?!?!" Well, she told me that she was tired of lying and disobeying her mother (which hasn't been much of a problem. She's the most well behaved girl I know) and that she was "on the wrong track" and she needed me to "help her get on the right track with God".
I really could hardly believe my ears, but I told her that when she was ready, she could pray and ask God to come into her heart and help her to get on the right track.
To my shock, she told me that she wanted to do that right away. I told her we could go inside and pray with her mother, and that's what we did.
I still had my reservations about what had just transpired, but she told me that she felt different inside.
Later tonight, I told her to clean her room and clear her bed of barbie dolls, and as I set here in front of my computer, I heard her singing as she worked. She was just making up the words as she went, but what she was saying shocked me. She was singing hymns! Or something like that.
I was writing down some of what she was singing as she sang it.
These are her words verbatim:
"Now I can do the right stuff
Now it's time for the Lord who we trust
Now Lord it is time for me to be blessed
Now I'm found and I get to sing
My time is here to see the Lord
Now it is time for the Lord to come in my heart
The Lord who I trust has saved me........"
That's right in the middle of what she made up on the fly while she was cleaning her room, but she continued on like this for quite a while.
I'm still just blown away by this.
I really don't know what to say, except praise Jesus for ever and ever! Glory hallelujah!!!!!!!
I'm reminded of when I accepted Jesus as an adolescent. Simply amazing.
