The Biggest Decision!!

Ethan made the biggest decision of his life tonight. He prayed and asked Jesus to come into his heart! He has been really thinking this over for the past month. We have been going through this great book "Helping Children Understand the Gospel". It is great because it goes through alot of the characteristics of God. We have also been working on our verse (look to the side) about the "Devil prowling around" and Ethan is has really interested in "why the Devil would want to devour us". He was really broken up about his sinful behavior tonight at bedtime and was in tears when I got to his room. "I don't want to obey the devil any more", was what he was crying. So, we talked with him about salvation and how when ask Jesus into our hearts. He really seemed to understand what he was doing and really wanted Jesus to come into his heart. He said he wants to obey God and to try not to sin anymore.

As we were leaving the room he said (pointing to his heart) with a big smile"Jesus is in there and
you know what he is going to be in there in the morning too".

"Blessed assurance Jesus is mine"
