Samual was a boy after God's own heart!

He heard God's call... and answered Him. He listened to what God had to say, and he responded to the voice of the Lord, "Here I am!...Speak, for your servant hears" - 1 Sam3:4,10

Where does such a heart come from? First and foremost, from God Himself! We can also ad that not far behind is a MOTHER (after God's own heart).

Hannah prayed to God and vowed to give her son to Him - 1Sam1:11, and so she did at a tender age of 3 years she gave Sam to Eli, the Priest.

Imagine Hannah's love for God... Imagine what she taught Sam during those first years of his life about God. Oh how she must have loved God... To follow through with her promise, to give Sam back (up).

I pray that I can be a mother like Hannah! Having a burning dedication to God and to teach and train my children to follow HIM, to know HIS voice and to answer HIS call.
