CHARLIE was a little boy who had been listening intently to the story of Willie, another little boy who had gone to be with Jesus. His father told him that he should pray that “Jesus would write Charlie’s name in the book of life.” That night Charlie added this simple request when he said his prayers.
A few nights after when Charlie said his prayers, his father noticed that his new petition had been left out. Thinking perhaps his little boy had forgotten, his father asked him why he had not asked the Lord Jesus to write his name in the “book of life.” Looking up with such a bright smile Charlie replied, “It’s in already!” Charlie was saved.
