“She Has It” Was the Subject line of the email Pastor Derek sent to me on Monday, and the only content other than the picture to your left was “I think she has the bug”.
“WOW!” That was my only response. “WOW!” That, and I was moved to tears.
Like “big church” does each Sunday, Pastor Derek offers a chance for kids to turn in any prayer request they would like prayed for, and that’s what my daughter Mariah turned in. Again…WOW!
This is one of those moments as a parent I live for. SHE GETS IT! Her prayer? “More people to come to know Jesus and come to element church!” Nothing like the heart of your child to convict the parent.
Her prayer makes Mark 10:15 come to life “I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”
What do you say? Will you join my daughter in this prayer? I think it’s THE MOST important thing we could pray for. “More people come to know Jesus…AMEN!”
Praying,
Jeff
P.S. And I LOVE she put her name “Mariah Maness” and then added “Jeff’s daughter”. YES SHE IS…and I’m PROUD to say it! And by the way, she prayed that prayer Sunday and FORTY PEOPLE acknowledged to us they accepted Jesus as their Savior. YES!!
