Tonight, I overheard Kelly tell Kevin, "Daddy, you are a good finder in the darkness." It's amazing how small children can say things that end up being quite profound, spiritual, and theological in the most innocent of statements. Kevin is a good finder in the dark, but not quite like the dark she was talking about.
When a person gives their hearts and lives to Christ, their primary purpose in life becomes the primary purpose that Jesus walked out -- to seek and save those who are lost. Our world carries a mass of spiritual darkness. Many people walk in a darkness that they never notice because they have not experienced the freedom of walking in the light. Imagine walking around your house without lights everyday. Eventually you will learn where every object is located and will have no problems navigating the house. Walking in spiritual darkness can eventually lead to the same outcome. You will learn to walk in the darkness, navigating multiple obstacles, and attempting to rely on yourself and your knowledge of where things are. The truth is that Jesus came to this earth to provide us with a light that will free us from the darkness.
Kevin has an uncanny ability to talk with people about his salvation experience and to provoke them to think about things that never crossed their minds before. It's beautiful and it's truly God working through him.
