Gabey asks Jesus into his heart

So I was downstairs in the basement and I heard some pretty loud banging coming from Gabe's room. When I went up to figure out what was going on I found him climbing back into bed after just having drug his heater right up against his bed/blankets. Suffice it to say I was upset because he could have possibly started a fire and if I hadn't checked on him it could have been really bad potentially.

So Gabe got a little freaked out because I was freaked out. He started asking about if he would go to heaven if he died. I asked him if he asked Jesus into his heart. He told me, but that he loved Jesus. I told him that loving Jesus is good, but the only way to be able to go to heaven is to actually ask Jesus into his heart. He asked if that is how mommy's grandma and grandpa went to heaven and I told him it was. I asked him if he wanted to ask Jesus into his heart and he said that he did. Gabe has always had this thing about asking Christ into his heart because he keeps thinking He would be in his real physical heart and he wants Him out of his heart cause that would feel weird. I asked him when he thought of loving mommy and daddy where was it he felt that he loved us. He told me it was in his real red heart not his actual heart. So I told him that he needed to accept Jesus into his real red heart where mommy and daddy are.

I was being really cautious though because I didn't want him to accept Christ based off of being scared of going to hell so I told him he didn't have to do it if he wasn't ready. I then asked him why he wanted to ask Jesus into his heart. My fear was he was going to say because I don't want to die and go to hell, but to my happiness his response was "Because I love Him".

The next step was then to have Gabey repeat the prayer with me. Now typically, Gabey doesn't like to pray and if he does then he does it quietly and shyly. I told him he needed to pray and ask Jesus into his heart and he of course countered with he wanted me to pray for him. I explained to him that this was definitely one prayer I couldn't say for him. He had to do it for himself because he wanted to. I agreed to say the prayer for him only so he could repeat it with me because he didn't know what to say. I was trying to figure out how to get him to understand he needed to just repeat it with me. So Gabey likes to occasionally tease me and mommy by constantly repeat what we say and then he dissolves into giggles. I asked him if he likes teasing mommy and daddy by repeating what we say. He of course giggled and said yes. I told him that that is all he needed to do to pray to Jesus with me. I prayed with Gabe and he repeated everything I prayed and when we got done I asked him how he felt and he said "Good".

Over the course of Saturday and Sunday he was telling everyone that he had accepted Christ into his heart!!
