Once upon a time, in a quiet village surrounded by hills, there lived a wise father named Joseph. Every evening, his daughter Sarah would sit beside him under the old olive tree as the stars began to twinkle in the sky. It was their special time together, a moment to talk about the wonders of God and the love of the Holy Spirit.
One evening, as Sarah climbed into his lap, she whispered, “Papa, sometimes when it gets dark, I feel afraid inside. What can I do?”
Joseph smiled gently and placed his hand over Sarah’s heart. “Ah, my child,” he said, “let me tell you a secret. Inside each of us, God has placed His Spirit—like a light that never goes out. Even when everything seems dark, that light is still there, waiting to shine.”
Sarah’s eyes grew wide with wonder. “Can we see it?”
Joseph nodded. “Close your eyes, little one, and take a deep breath.” Sarah did as he asked, snuggling close. “Now imagine a beautiful white light glowing deep in your heart. This light is the Holy Spirit, God’s gift to you. It’s warm, like the sun on your face, and gentle, like the softest breeze. Feel it spread through your whole body, bringing comfort, love, and peace.”
Sarah’s small face softened as she followed his words, imagining the light growing brighter, filling her chest, and flowing down through her arms and legs. “What if I forget the light when I feel afraid?” she asked.
Joseph kissed the top of her head. “Even if you forget, the Holy Spirit never leaves you. Just breathe and remember—God’s light is always with you, lighting your way. It’s like a lamp that guides your feet on the path, just as the Scriptures say, ‘Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.’”
Sarah let out a little sigh, feeling the warmth of the light settle in her heart. “And when I sleep, will the light stay with me?”
“Yes, my dear,” Joseph whispered. “The Holy Spirit will watch over you all through the night, wrapping you in God’s love and peace. Whenever you wake, that light will still be there, ready to guide you.”
As the stars sparkled overhead, Joseph held Sarah close, and they whispered a quiet prayer together. “Dear Lord, thank You for Your Holy Spirit, the light that shines within us. Fill our hearts with Your peace and help us remember Your love in every moment.”
Sarah yawned, her heart full and calm. “Good night, Papa,” she whispered, her eyes already closing.
“Good night, my little one,” Joseph replied as he carried her home and tucked her into bed with a gentle smile. “Sleep in peace, knowing God’s light shines always within you.”
And so, with the white light of the Holy Spirit glowing in her heart, Sarah drifted into sleep, feeling safe and loved in the presence of God.
