God in Your Heart

Troy: “Dada, Misha said that she doesn’t have God in her heart.”

Me: “Well, I’m sorry to hear that, but it’s her choice. She has to invite God into her heart.”

Troy: “But she didn’t invite Him. She said He’s not in there.”

Me: “I see. Is God in your heart?”

Troy: “Yes. But He’s not in Misha’s.”

Me: “I’m glad He’s in your heart. And I hope that Misha invites Him into her heart at some point. I don’t think Misha’s mama and dada talk to her about God like we do with you. Maybe YOU need to talk to her about God. Share with her about what God means to you, what He’s done for you. Maybe she can learn from you.”

Troy: “She said God is in her head.”

Me: “People tend to learn about God before they form a relationship with Him, so I guess that makes sense.”

Troy: “God needs to get out of her head and get into her heart!”

Me: “I agree, but He’s not going to force His way into her heart. He’ll knock, but she has to open the door and invite Him in.”

Troy: “He can’t go into her heart.”

Me: “Why is that?”

Troy: “She said her heart is cold.”

Me: “I see. That’s very sad. Just keep talking to her about God, and hopefully one day she’ll invite Him into her heart.”

Troy: “I tried! But she keeps saying the same thing again and again!”

Me: “I know, bud. Just don’t get frustrated. It may take a long time, but it’s worth it. Just keep trying to talk to her.”

Troy: “Okay.”
