Little Rene loved her father very much, even though he wasn’t a Christian. Her mother had been, however, but she had passed away to be with Jesus when Rene was just a tiny baby.
One day little Rene asked, “Day, do you love Jesus?”
How can I love Someone I have never seen?” he replied.
The little girl was silent for a moment. Then she asked, “Daddy, how old was I when Mommy died?”
“Just six months, my pet.”
“I don’t remember seeing Moy,” Rene went on. “I don’t remember her at all, Daddy, but I love her just the same because you have told me how good and kind she was.”
At this her father broke down and big tears began to stream down his cheeks.
“Rene,” he said, “you have given me a message from God. I have never seen Jesus but I have often heard how good and kind and forgiving He is. Pray for me for I want to really trust Him and love Him for all that He has done for me.”
