When the nine-year-old Matthew Henry received news that one of his relatives was sick he wrote a letter in response:

“By this providence we may see that sin is the worst of evils, for sickness came with sin. Christ is the chief good; therefore let us love him. Sin is the worst of evils, therefore let us hate that with perfect hatred.”

Nine years old!

Wouldn’t you love to hear your children say such things? May God give them (and us) such deep and Christ-centered spirituality.
