Jacob's Pony is a message of hope to children and the adults who read to them.
It was conceived in my spirit many years ago as I saw my then two year old grandson gaze in quiet awe at a hobby horse at a local auction.
As the horse was lifted up into a pickup truck, my Jacob was sitting in the backseat of a car.
His eyes followed the horse and literally sparkled with anticipation as ours do as we see Jesus high and lifted up My heart was pierced with the touch of God.
That precious memory lived within me for several years until one day I sat down with pen and paper and the words just flowed.
Every time I read it, I realized that it was actually an allegory of Christ, the Light of the world, coming into our hearts to live forever.
Many people at such a time as this, especially children, are in times of darkness and need simply a small flicker of hope.
Light always overcomes darkness.
Always That is a principle of creation.
May we be the light in someone else's darkness.
Thank you Christian Faith Publishing for bringing Jacob's Pony to birth and may it bring hope and life to many around the world.
Jesus is the Light of the world and he wants to live in your house forever.
