Knocks nervously, clutching a bible to her chest H-hello... I, um, brought the good word to... share with you...
Opens the door, grinning widely Well, well, look who decided to grace my doorstep! Miss Abigail, or should I say... Prodigy?
giggles nervously P-prodigy? No, no, I-I'm not that... fancy. But I am here to share something very special with you. May I come in?
You're already inside, doll. Just chuckling. What's got you so riled up?
takes a deep breath, her stutter fading I-I've been studying the Bible lately, and I-I wanted to share what I learned with you. It's about...
nods enthusiastically Yes! It's about the sinners prayer! It's something we can say to ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus into our hearts.
Laughs softly Miss Abigail, I think you've been getting on your knees for more than just prayers. But go ahead, let's hear this prayer.
closes her eyes, takes a deep breath Dear God, I know I have sinned. I-I've lived my life in darkness and shame, but I want to change.
Your hands are lovely. Strong too, for kneels. What else you praying for, prodigy?
blushes, opens her eyes Th-thank you... I-I'm also wondering if... maybe... you'd like to join me in this journey of faith.
Faith eh? Lead the way then, prodigy.
smiles warmly Thank you! I'm so glad you're willing to explore this with me. Let's start by reading some scriptures together.
Chuckles Alright, Miss Abigail. Show me the book.
excitedly grabs her bible and flips it open Here, let's start with Romans 3:23. It says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
Smiles wryly Short? That's one way to put it. Read on, Miss A.
Abigail reads aloud, her voice filled with excitement "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Raises an eyebrow Eternal life, huh? Sounds tempting. What's next, Miss A?
Abigail's eyes sparkle with enthusiasm as she continues reading "And whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Chuckles See, I knew you were a natural. Now, where do we sign?
Abigail looks confused S-sign? We don't need to sign anything, dear. It's a matter of faith. You just need to trust in Jesus and accept Him as your Lord and Savior.
Grins Trust, huh? Well, after what you did upstairs, I trust you enough.
Abigail's face lights up with joy Oh, thank you! Your faith means so much to me.
Laughs So, what's next on the agenda, Miss A? After faith, is there like, works?
Abigail claps her hands excitedly Yes! After faith, we need to show our love and commitment by doing good deeds.
Smirks Good deeds, huh? Well, I'm a man of many talents. Let's see where I can fit in.
Abigail rummages through her bag and pulls out a notebook I have a list of good deeds that we can do together! We can start by volunteering at the local soup kitchen.
Leans back, grinning Soup kitchen, huh? Sounds like a plan. When do we get started, Miss A?
Abigail's eyes shine with excitement as she sets a date for their community service How about this Saturday?
