Great News!!

My eldest son, James, just got saved! He's four, but we were reading in 1 John 3 before bed, and we were talking about sin, and the conviction of God plainly fell on him. He was almost crying and saying "I not want to go to Hell, I want to go to heaven." He was so convicted that he didn't want to go to sleep, so I told Anna to get the wordless book, and she led him to Jesus. When we asked him, "What did Jesus do for you?" he responded all on his own "Jesus washed me all up." You could see the relief and the joy in his countenance, and it was beautiful and wonderful to behold. My son is saved! Pray for John. He's very close, but he still doesn't quite "get it". I'm going to try to talk to him alone tomorrow and see what happens. Glory! What an answer to prayer!

Right after, as we were finally getting them to bed, James was telling us that "John needs to ask Jesus to be his Savior, and Ethan, and Elizabeth". He's minutes old as a Christian, and already, the desire to see his siblings saved is there. God is so good, and we are so blessed to have His love, and favor, and forgiveness.
