A little boy, Johnny, was playing with a slingshot at his grandparents’ farm. By accident, he hit and killed Grandma’s pet duck. Panicked, he hid it—only to realize his sister Sally had seen everything.
From then on, Sally used the secret to make Johnny do all her chores, always whispering, “Remember the duck?” After days of this, Johnny finally confessed to Grandma. She hugged him and said, “Sweetheart, I already knew. I was watching from the window. I forgave you because I love you. I was just waiting to see how long you’d let Sally make a slave of you.”
Lesson:
God also sees everything in our lives—our mistakes, sins, and regrets. But His love means He forgives us when we sincerely ask. The real question is: how long will we let guilt and the devil enslave us, when forgiveness and freedom are already ours?
