“Mommy, come quick! There’s a monster in my room!” cried Stevie. When his mother came, she explained to Stevie that there wasn’t any such thing as a monster, even though his little friends seemed to think there was.
When Stevie still seemed a little afraid, she said, “Stevie, Jesus is here with you. He won’t let anything hurt you. He loves you very much.”
“Isn’t Jesus afraid of anything?” asked Stevie.
“Oh, no, Stevie. He doesn’t have to be afraid of anything. Don’t you remember when He told the big wind and the big waves to be still, and they became calm? They had to do what He said, because He is God. So you don’t have to be afraid of monsters or anything else with Jesus here to take care of you.”
“Okay, Mommy, you can go downstairs now,” said Stevie. “Jesus will take care of me.” He snuggled down with his Teddy bear under the covers and went off to sleep.
Do you feel afraid sometimes, especially in the dark? Just remember that Jesus is with you all the time. He has promised to those who love Him, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:55Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5)). And the very next verse says, “The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear” (Hebrews 13:66So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Hebrews 13:6)).
