My little girl is well into four,
An age when some profess they believed.
At the throne of grace I often implore,
“Early, Lord, from sin set her free.”
Patiently I must wait on the Lord,
For He Alone opens blind eyes.
Consistently I must proclaim the Word,
Praying the Spirit will not pass her by.
And if He comes working conviction,
Her sin, future judgment, and Christ’s beauty she will know.
Then comes God’s sovereign work of regeneration,
Resulting in repentance, faith, and obedience she will never disown.
Some in a prayer or a movement rely,
Yet these are just contrived works of our own.
What is needed is enduring trust in Christ,
And this is a gift of God’s grace alone.
(Inspired by John 1:12-13; 6:37, 44-45; 10:27; 16:7-11; 17:3)
