Toddler Testimonies

I learn so much from my girls. They are little but they have a lot of faith in Jesus. It's wonderful to know they are absorbing some of what they are hearing and remembering some memory verses.

The other day, I overheard Brynna talking to her bears- who evidently were not getting along. She said, "God does not like fighting. Be kind and 'passionate to one 'nothers." (Rearranging of the bears.) "Now tell her you're sorry."

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another,
forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.




A conversation between my big girl and me:

Braylee: Mommy, I love you so much. I love you the mostest. Well, really, I love Jesus the mostest. Everyone loves Jesus the mostest, but I looooovee you, Mommy.

Me: Not everyone loves Jesus. We need to pray for them.

Braylee: Some people do not love Jesus?! I thought everyone loved Jesus.

Me: No, some people do not love Jesus, but we should pray for their hearts to be changed.

Braylee: Momma, do you know anyone who doesn't love Jesus?

Me: Yes. I don't think [name] loves Jesus.

Braylee: He doesn't?!

Me: I don't think so.

Braylee (without missing a beat): Well, he must not then because if he did, you would know.

STOP dead in my tracks.

Me: You are right...so right, Braylee.

Such a reminder that our actions and words speak volumes about our hearts.
