The witness of the Holy Spirit
Luke was so excited to be with those little christian girls the other evening that he felt free to be making little crosses in the sand with a stick. Then a little boy came along and asked what he was doing and Luke asked did this little boy love Jesus the boy said "yes" but then Luke said "Do you know HIm?" The boy said "no." Then his parents that were on the other side of the playground called him over...
I just thought this was special because we so often talk about playing with the nice kids or leaving if things are going bad. So the boys get the impression we are focusing on if these kids are good or bad but Luke is seeing it is really an issue of are they believing Jesus and pleasing him or not. This was a 'nice' boy to talk to while playing in the sand together.
The sweetest thing is the child like way the boys were interacting and the impression it put on my heart. Luke the christian was not pushing, manipulating, or planning what he was gonna say. These boys were just talking in a relaxed friendly way in total childlikeness! |
