I would like to introduce you to one of the sweetest kids I have ever met (and I´ve met a lot of sweet kids). His name is Esteban and he is frequently the highlight of my day.
I am so amazed by the strong, pure, and doubtless faith that this kid has. Esteban LOVES Jesus. When I asked him what his favorite song was, he told me that he likes all the songs about God. When he´s pretending to be a cholo¨(gangster), he always uses the disclaimer that he´s a ¨cholo bueno por Dios¨ (a good gangster for God). He´s quick to volunteer to pray at meal times, and any mention of going to church gets him really excited.
The other night it was dark out and so Esteban insisted on walking me back to the house I´m staying in. I was going to be sleeping there alone that night and he kept asking me if I was scared. When I (honestly) told him that maybe I was a little bit nervous, he suggested that I sleep with my Bible. Then he told me not to worry because God is always with me. Before he left he told me to sleep well and dream with the angels...
Of all the pastors and speakers I´ve heard in my life, who would have thought that my greatest lessons in faith would come from a little seven year old boy?
