Do You Know Where God Lives?

By Kay Heitsch

When Eli, our grandson, was around three or four years old, he asked me a question that surprised me. He asked, "Ooma, do you know where God lives?"

Surprised by the question, I hesitated a second. Then Eli answered his question.

He looked up at me and, in his sweet baby voice, placed his tiny hand over his heart and said, "God lives in here."

To this day, I don't know how he knew this. Yes, Eli had heard some Bible stories, but they were written for preschool children.

Our Bible verse says. Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16 ESV

Never should we doubt that God makes Himself known. He let Eli know He was alive and well, living in his heart.
