A little girl who grew up in an atheistic home where no one ever spoke of God once questioned her father about the origin of the world. \u201cWhere does the world come from?\u201d asked the three-year-old.<\/p>\n
Her father replied with a discourse that was materialistic in nature. Then he added, \u201cHowever, there are those who say that all this comes from a very powerful being, and they call him God.\u201d<\/p>\n
At this point the little girl began to run like a whirlwind around the room in a burst of joy and exclaimed, \u201cI knew what you told me wasn\u2019t true; it is Him, it is Him!\u201d<\/p>\n
