Childlike Faith

"But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed."  

Isaiah 53:5

This week we have been deliberately reading and talking about the cross with the girls.  As the words come out of my mouth, the thoughts in my heart are..."Jesus, please let even one of these sink in their sweet little hearts."  Last night, Amelia and I were reading about the crucifixion in the Jesus Storybook Bible and she stopped me at a picture of Jesus on the cross.  He had cuts and gashes all over his body.  Amelia began pointing to each and every cut saying "There is my booboo...and mommy's booboo....daddy's....Tillie's.... and Foxie's..." I started to correct her and then I realized the truth she was speaking!  My precious 3.5 year old realized that our filthy sins are what nailed our perfect, righteous, humble Savior to the cross! 

Wow... THANK YOU, Lord for hearing the desires of my heart and for the blessing in revealing your truths and mysteries to these small little minds.  Thank you for the simplicity of their thoughts and the simplicity of their faith.  Produce this in me!  Amen!!!
