Jesus said, “ you must come as a little child……”
This post on Substack was so touching:
“The other night before bed, my 4 year old daughter asked, “Mommy, did you know that Jesus lives in my body?!?” Her eyes wide with excitement.
“Really?” I asked.
“Yes, and we talk to each other. I say something and he talks back. Watch.”
She closes her eyes and says, “I love you, Jesus.”
Pause. A grin spreads on her face.
Her eyes open, “He said, ‘I love you, too.’”
“Now you try, Mommy.”

Recently, a 51 year old woman, finding a personal relationship with Christ in recent months in the midst of a major life transition and all its trauma, shared with me that during her morning Bible study and prayer she heard a voice say, “I love you.” She asked me, “Is that God talking to me or am I being deceived?” It led us into a robust conversation about how God speaks to us and exploring the character and personality of God.
This morning I happened upon a podcast discussion of imagination, meaning and discipleship. It observed that our senses bring us facts that illuminate truth about our world to our minds. But imagination gives those facts meaning in our lives. Discipleship is the process of helping others merge the two by sharing our learned and discerned experiences of God as God has revealed Himself to us and others within the Christian life.
