Jesus, I can't Hear You I took a few minutes to read a book to a little girl while her mother shopped on Saturday. She selected, Max Lucado's latest children's book, Milo the Praying Mantis Who Could Not Pray.
The book was about a praying mantis that just couldn't seem to talk to God or hear from him, so all of his friends tried to help. They made signs, they even made a sling shot and put Milo in it and launched him into the clouds so he could get closer to God. Nothing seemed to help him. Then a horrible storm came, and blew in everything needed for Milo to rebuild his life (I don't want to give away all of the surprizes in the story!).
When I finished the story, this sweet four year old girl looked me in the eyes and whispered. "I don't hear Jesus either." My heart melted. What precious innocence.
I wish my answer could have been profound. All I said to her was, "You Will."

My prayer today is that our four year old friend hears Jesus in the love of her parents, in the song of the birds, and in the quiet of her slumber. Amen |
