In Her Little Heart

2 Comments

I cannot express what a happy mommy I am this morning! I’ve been longing and praying that KT encounters God long before I can tell her about Jesus. Of course I will keep telling her about Jesus and all that He has done is our lives, but then, I don’t want to restrict her understanding of God with my limited knowledge. I want God to reveal Himself to her in unique ways that from a very young age, long before she could read the Bible or comprehend a God, she’ll discover Him as a person – someone very real, someone that she can literally see and speak to. In other words, I want to discover Jesus through my little girl!

Matthew 18:3
And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

This morning she was fast asleep. It was time to get ready for school. I kept waking her up. But she was deep in sleep. All of a sudden, with her eyes still closed, in a gentle, sleepy, but serious tone she whispered, “Amma, Jesus is in my heart!”

I was baffled. It’s something we never taught her to say.

Although a very simple statement. I strongly believe the Lord has begun His work in her little heart =)

A Little Jesus Confussion

3 Comments

Well, KT is very familiar with Jesus. She can identify Him in picture books and paintings. She even prays the cutest prayers. One of it goes like this – “Jesus, bless mummy, daddy, puppy dog, mummy puppy dog and daddy puppy dog!” (Stray dogs she saw several months ago at a garbage dump in Trichy!). Suppose me or Vj is sick, she’ll lay hands on us and pray, “Jesus, bless headache/pain/fever!” 

She also hears the name Jesus several times during the week and many more times on Sundays at church!

However a couple of recent incidents have made me curious as to how she has pictured Jesus. How has her little mind conceived Jesus!

Every afternoon when she returns from school and while I unlock the door to our house, she’ll ask, “Amma, who is inside?”

I, since I firmly believe that we’re never alone, that God’s presence constantly abides in us and in our home, will reply, “Jesus is inside, darling!”

For a few days, she just said okay and didn’t ask much about it.

Sometime last week, she asked the same question again and I replied the same. She immediately ran inside the house, searched each room and returned telling me, “Amma, Jesus is lost! He is not there!”

Of late, she resumed sucking her thumb when she feels sleepy. So Vj and I apply neem oil on her thumb or put a sock in her right hand trying every possible thing to stop her from doing so. On one such attempt, Vj put one of his shirts for KT, as it covers her hands completely. She took a look at it. It was long, her feet was almost covered. She looked at herself. And then asked, “Amma, I am Jesus?”

I broke into laughter, but kept wondering how I would explain Jesus to her. It will take some years for her to grasp the fact that Jesus Christ is her Creator and Savior. But long before that, I really wish my little girl will experience a personal encounter with Him. I do not want Jesus to be a familiar, invisible, imaginary person to her. I really hope that she will get to know Him in a real tangible way. Jesus after all said,

Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.

Matthew 5:8
