Little Ellen had a tiny baby sister who was very sick. Ellen was only three years old herself, when she heard the doctor and her mother talking together.
"Your little one is very sick, and I'm afraid she's not going to get better," said the doctor.
Without a word little Ellen went quietly over to the telephone, climbed up on a chair and lifted the receiver. Then in her own sweet childish voice she quietly spoke these words into the phone: "Dear Lord Jesus, make baby sister well." She thought this was a good way to talk to Jesus.
The operator heard Ellen. But best of all the Lord Jesus heard her sweet, simple prayer of faith and answered it in His own wonderful way. Her baby sister was soon on the way to recovery.
"Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
"Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
"And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them." Mark 10:14-1614But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 15Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. 16And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. (Mark 10:14‑16).
