One day, ten-year old Ryan was driving imaginary race cars with his friends. Several minutes later he came bounding into the house and yelled, "Mom, you’ve got to come quick. Billy wants to accept Jesus into his heart."

Skeptical of the child’s sudden interest in spiritual things, Susie asked, "Ryan, I thought you were playing race cars?"

He said, "We were, Mom, but our cars wrecked. The accident was real bad so I asked Isabelle if she would go to heaven if she died. She said she didn’t know. I told him how he could know and now he wants to ask Jesus into his heart."

It is as simple as that, we must keep that child-like faith that God gifted us with to bring us to salvation… a child-like faith enables us to take any situation and use it for God’s purposes and glory!
