I was a day care provider & there was a child in my care
named Jason-that God used to continue my journey with God. Jason was
only 4 years old-but he knew how to pray. Jason started praying for
me & asked his dad to pray too.
I can still remember the phone ringing & Jason saying,
"Kim will you come to church with me?" Of course I agreed to go. Jason
asked me to church every Wednesday & Sunday.
One day Jason asked me, "Have you been baptized?" I explained
to him I was baptized as a baby. Jason told his dad & his dad made arrangements
to study with me. For the next 4 weeks Greg (Jason's dad) rode his motorcycle
over to my parent's house to have a Bible study with me. After several
scriptures were read on babtism; I told Greg I wanted to be baptized.
Mathew 28:19 "Therefore go & make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the father, son, & of the holy spirit". (NIV)
I was to be baptized in a small pond in Claremont, IL.
As I went down into the water-I can still remember the beautiful singing
of the people as they sang:"I will follow Jesus - No turning back".
As I came up out of the water-I knew my sins were forgiven
& buried-to be held against me no more. I was a complete new creature
in Christ. I don't know how many people were saved by Jason's prayers
& willingness to share Jesus with others. We as adults need to hiumble
ourselves & become like a child. Pray for everyone & use every opportunity
to share the message of the gospel.
