Last night I was on my way to church with Nate and Skyelynn when we experienced a God moment. Out of nowhere Skyelynn began asking questions about heaven and hell and what it means to be saved. I purposely chose to ask her questions instead of just answer her questions to see what she really understood about it all. Once I realized she had a grasp of what it meant to be "saved" I ask her if she wanted to ask Jesus into her heart. She responded with an enthusiastic yes. So, in our Explorer on the way to church, Skyelynn asked Jesus to be Lord of her life.
In that moment I felt like the Holy Spirit revealed something to me that isn't deep or profound, yet I tend to forget it. The Gospel message of Jesus isn't a complicated thing. It's simple. We make it complicated. In fact, it's so simple that last night my six year old daughter explained to me salvation and made a decision for herself to live for Jesus. Why is it a six year old can get it, but someone who is twenty six or forty six cannot? Maybe we have made the Gospel too complicated? Maybe others struggle because it seems too simple? God spoke to me through my daughter's life last night and reminded me that we need to simply present the message of hope and salvation that is offered to us because of the sacrifice Jesus made for us. God through the power of His Holy Spirit will take care of the rest.
It's simple. Don't make it to complicated.
That is awesome :)
