Amazing Love

Tonight at dinner Rob and I were talking about getting baptized. Tyler said "I want to get baptized too". Rob said "that's great but there are a couple things you need to do before you get baptized". Of course Tyler asked what so I went on to explain that after you accept Jesus as your Savior you can be baptized. I know he understands Jesus died for our sins and he knows about baptism so I asked him if he's ever said a prayer asking Jesus to come into his heart. He said he hadn't but that he wanted to right then. So Rob led him in prayer as he confessed his sins, thanked Jesus for dying for his sins, asked Jesus to come and live in his heart and have the Holy Spirit fill him. WOW! So amazing and so wonderful that Tyler understands this and LOVES JESUS so much! The "thing" I want most for my sons is that they know and love Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him all their days. I am so grateful that the Lord has given our boys the opportunity to know and love Him. I pray that all our sons will make this same decision and will be great witnesses for the Lord.
