Won by His Little Girl

A man who had once professed to be a Christian had gotten away from the Lord and became a backslider.
One day his little girl looked up earnestly into his face and inquired, her lips quivering the meanwhile, “Daddy, is God dead?”
“Why, no, my pet,” he replied. “Why do you ask that?”
“Why, Daddy, ‘cause you never talk to Him now like you used to,” she answered with emotion.
These words from his little girl went home to the father’s heart like an arrow; they haunted him day and night. Finally he broke down before the Lord, confessed his sin and failure in neglecting prayer and reading his Bible, and the Lord graciously restored him to communion, joy and peace with Himself.
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:99If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9).
“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father which is in heaven. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.” Matthew 18:10,1110Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 11For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. (Matthew 18:10‑11).
