A New Birth

We have been enjoying Vacation Bible School this week at our church and it has been such a blessing the teaching and preaching has been amazing! The Holy Spirit has shown up and done a great work in the hearts of the children. I have counseled with two girls so far and one was still a bit unsure so I showed her some verses and prayed with her for understanding and then the other girl shared with me that her cousin (who was just saved a little before or at camp) led her to the Lord three or four days prior to going to VBS. What a blessing to see the witness of a child! I shared some scripture with her about assurance of salvation and she went on her way with peace again. So God has been so good!


Well last night I had went back to counsel with that girl and didn't see that Faith had raised her hand! No one took her back to talk to her because they thought that she was too young to understand. I have had her on my heart a lot before this week almost a crazy amount! Myself and Scott have been praying extra for her this week. So Scott had seen she raised her hand and asked her why. She said she didn't know why and again I prayed Lord give her understanding! As we got settled into the car to go home Faith said "Mom Do I have to go to hell?" I said "I don't know Faith do you?" She said "I think so." I said "Why would you have to go to hell Faith?" She said "Because I sin." I stopped her there and I said "Honey we will have a talk when we get home with Daddy." When we pulled into the garage at home I said "Alright lets go in and get ready for bed" Faith said "I need to have my talk with Daddy." Thankfully we had friends over here to help with Justice and Scott and I both were able to go in with her to talk to her. Scott talked with her I stayed quiet and just witnessed. I observed her coming to the understanding that if she asked Jesus to save her she would go to Heaven and not to Hell. More than anything she realized that her sin made it so she couldn't go to Heaven without Jesus! Praise the Lord my little 5 year old bowed her head and folded her hands sat still and asked the Lord to save her. The neat thing is while we were talking to her Scott and I both actually saw the moment she believed in her heart. Her whole sense of being changed she had been quite busy before we got near the end of talking to her and then the moment she believed she literally lit up and was so full of joy! True joy the only kind that can come from the Lord. Scott and I both talked about it and we both agreed that we could tell when she believed in her heart. Amazing truly amazing, best feeling in the world! Before I knew Faith would go to heaven because she wasn't completely understanding now I know that my little girl Faith Pearl Clem is a "Blood bought child of the King"!!! Believe me there is a difference in the heart of a parent!  I am Praising the Lord that Faith came to the understanding of trusting Jesus to save her!
