So I read this on a blog. There's alot more to this story but I just thought this was really good.

It's pretty self explanatory but it's a conversation between a little girl and her mom (the author of the blog I was reading).....

"Mommy, if Jesus comes to live inside my heart, will I explode?"

"NO!" I proclaimed as my ten children and I headed to the Nile River to be baptized yesterday.


And then I thought about it.

Yes.


If Jesus comes to live inside your heart you will EXPLODE.


With love. With compassion. With hurt for those who are hurting and joy for those who rejoice. You will explode with a desire to be more. To be better. To be close to the one who made you.


Sometimes I sing. Sometimes I dance. Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry. And usually I can't tell you why, other than to tell you that the grace and goodness of our God is so BIG that I can't contain it and it literally EXPLODES out of me.


Yes, my little daughters. Jesus is coming to live inside your heart. Get ready to explode."
