After our talk this morning I told Chloe that I was going to talk to her Daddy this evening about her wanting to be saved and I would see if there was anything else we needed to try to explain to her, then I tried explain to her that we as parents do not decide if it is ok for her to get saved, that that is a personal choice for her to make, and that it is between her and God...I told her " I cannot tell you if you can get saved or not, that is between you and God..you can ask Jesus to be your savior, you can ask Him to forgive you of yoru sins, and tell Him you want to live for Him" then I told her that sometimes it helps to go in your room and just talk to God, I explained again that she did not need me, that she could tell God whatever she wanted to talk to Him about, then I asked her if she wanted to go in her room for a while and just think and pray (talk to God) about whatever was on her mind....when she came out I asked her about what she prayed and this is what she said:
Chloe went in her room to pray and when she came out this is what she said she prayed about...I asked him to help me get saved, that we know how it felt when they put throns on his head, and that it bleeded and we know that it hurt, I told him that Iam sorry that we sinned and help us to be good, and that we know You rose the third day.
Good for you! Our oldest accepted Christ all on his own at about the same age. He's always been a level-headed kid, so there wasn't a hugely noticeable change in him. We knew he was saved mostly because he could explain it better than most adults in church, and eight years later, he has an incredibly sensitive conscience toward God.
Our second child went through a night-and-day personality transformation, so we had zero doubts she was truly a new creation. For the third and fourth, it was just a simple prayer. Their Grandma told me that kids will often rededicate their lives to Christ when they're older, simply because they want to know for sure.
It's amazing how much simpler an issue it is for a child than for us grownups.
Here's a post about how my youngest trusted Christ:
on a side note, pls dont think I'm a total flake. I had good intentions to phone you and the day got away from me with all the fun things we were doing. I feel like a heel! :( But lets do try it again. Or you can phone me and I can ring you back since i have unlimited on my house line.
Just trying out this blog stuff to see how it all works. I am mom to 4 wonderful children; Chloe (5), Noah (4), Zoey (2), Jonah (6 months). I am just beginning the homeschool journey and trying to become the Godly Woman I am meant to be.
