Rebecca's Child Talks (3)

At age 3. One day on the way back home from work/school in the late afternoon, Daddy was driving, and Mommy and Rebecca rode in the back. Rebecca showed Mommy the crafts she made at school. They were a few drawings stapled together. On those drawings were God’s creations from day 1 to day 6. Rebecca was very excited at talking about her work. At the end, she said thoughtfully, “Creation is love!” Mommy was astonished at her perception.

At age 4. One day on the way to work/school in the morning, Mommy was driving and Rebecca rode in the back. It was near Easter. So they talked about the death of Jesus.

“Our hearts were broken when Jesus died on the cross.” Rebecca said.

Spoken from a pure heart, those words were so touching! Mommy knew God heard them, too.

At age 5. At the time when Gabby was born, Grandpa and Grandma came to visit. One day Grandpa was watching a video on the internet. It was an interview conducted by a news reporter with a famous Chinese writer. The reporter said to the writer, “I admire you very much, ….” The word “admire” in Chinese is the same as the word “worship”. Rebecca was watching that with Grandpa. Hearing that, she said, “He is wrong. We only worship God.”

At age 5. Daddy picked up Rebecca from Vacation Bible School (VBS) one day. On the way home, Rebecca was very excited. She told Daddy God loved her so much because when she prayed for a sister God gave her one. She was talking and talking, and Daddy was so touched.

At age 7. One day in the car Mommy and Rebecca were listening to music. Rebecca told Mommy she could play out that music on the piano after listening to it.

“You have a very good sense for music.” Mommy said.

“This is your talent.” Mommy continued, “It was God that gave you this talent. He will use your talent to serve Him one day.”

“How can I?” Rebecca asked.

“You know we sing songs to praise God at the church. You could play piano to accompany the singing. That is a way you could serve God. You could also produce music in CDs or something else telling people the love of God and His salvation. ” Mommy Said.

“As long as you have a willing heart, God will use you for his mission. Do you have a willing heart, like Donkey Ollie?” Mommy asked.

“Yes.” Rebecca said.

Mommy turned back from the driver’s seat and looked at Rebecca. She was smiling. Mommy smiled, too.

[Palsm 8:2] “From the lips of children and infants, you have ordained praise.”

[Matthew 19:14] “Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’”

[Matthew 18: 1-4] “At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: ‘I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.’”
