The GOD blood

A few Sunday's ago my five year old daughter took communion at church. This was her second time to take communion and as she does understand communion, to the extent that a five year olds mind can, she takes it very seriously. Later that day after we came home, she was playing in the yard with her little friend, and somehow cut her ankle on the swing set. She came in the house crying telling me "Mommy, the blood's coming out" I told her it was okay and we will go doctor it up and put a band aid on it. Then she says "But Mommy, I hope it's not the God blood." I told her that once you have God's blood, you are part of His family, and His blood won't come out.

I was thinking that it is such a wonderful way to think. That when God puts something in us, such as his word, His Spirit, or the blood of Jesus, we should be very protective of it. We should always be concerned that everything He puts into us stays there, so that we can do His will and serve Him as He has planned for us.
