JESUS IN MY HEART

A little 9-year-old girl came home from VBS one day. She proudly told her parents and little brother that, "Jesus is living in my heart now!" Mom and Dad were so proud, and made a big deal out of it.

Later that day, her little brother said something she didn’t like, and she hauled off and knocked the soup out of him! He didn’t know much about church, but he knew a Christian shouldn’t act like that! He said, "I thought you said Jesus was living in your heart?"

She replied, "He is, but He’s asleep right now!"

(From a sermon by Tim Huie, "How to Behave in Church (and Everywhere Else!)" 1/16/2009)
