Pssssst!
Children

Psssssst!
Children, did you know that Jesus is waiting to hear from
you?
He is listening for your voice to tell Him what you
choose to do.
Every
person, every child, every Mom and Dad,
must make their own choice and if not Jesus will be very
sad.
You see
God said anyone who sinned had to pay a price,
and that was to eventually loose their life.
Not to be
allowed in Heaven where God and Jesus reign,
never to see their loved ones again.
But
because God loves us all very much you see,
He made a plan where Jesus dies instead of you and me.
Jesus came
and lived here on earth,
was beaten up and died on the cross for people of little
worth.
Now this
is called the gift of salvation,
and when you understand what it is, that's called
revelation.
Once the
story is revealed to you,
there is some serious deciding that each of you must do.
Though the
gift of salvation is absolutely free,
it must be accepted by each of us you see.
How I
wonder do I accept the gift offered to me?
I tell God I believe that He is God and His Son died to
set me free.
I must
confess that I have sinned before,
and that I am very sorry and don't intend to sin anymore.
I must ask
Jesus to live in my heart,
and to give me the Holy Spirit who a good work in me will
start.
I must
surrender my will each new day,
I do this as I kneel beside my bed to pray.
When there
is something tempting me to be bad,
I must ask myself "Do I want to make Jesus
sad?"
One day in
Heaven we will hear Jesus say,
I am proud of you for the decision you made that day.
Now that
you know this special truth,
you must share it with all of the other youth.
"Psssssst!
Listen" is what you will say,
"I have a special story I would like to share with
you today."
That is
how the word of salvation is spread,
that is how to the cross of Jesus other sinners are led.
