Holy Spirit, Me Too!

This is a scriptural story narrated by a young child who shares her idyllic family life with the reader that is centered on Christ. Lots of lovable and nurturing interactions take place between her and her parents that create an environment and atmosphere that is charged with the beauty of heaven. Behold her innocent and tender heart open like a rare flower to receive Him. Daddy is an architect. He draws buildings and houses on paper from high up on his chair and big drawing table. He drew our house too. Our house is a country cottage with lots of rooms. When I drew a picture of our house I showed it to him and asked, "Does Jesus have a house like we do? Daddy, where is Jesus's house? Where does Jesus live?" Daddy answered, "Jesus's house is in my heart. He lives in Daddy's heart. It is a grand house!" Wow! I looked at Daddy and saw a great, big house sitting in his heart. I asked, "Is Mommy's heart Jesus's house too?" Daddy replied, "Yes, Jesus lives in Mommy's heart too." "Daddy," I said, "I want Jesus to make His house in my heart just like you and Mommy! Will Jesus come to live in my heart?" Daddy smiled. "Yes, He will! Just ask Him." "Jesus," I whispered. Here is Your new house, my heart. Please come and live in my heart just like Mommy and Daddy. Thank you, Jesus. I hope You will like Your new house." This story was written to reveal the act of simple acceptance a child demonstrates when receiving Christ as their Personal Savior and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Jesus did say that we all must change and become like little children to enter into the kingdom of heaven...(Matthew 18:1-5)
