The Daily Ricky

Once, my girls were jumping on the bed. Our oldest put her foot in the wall and left a huge hole. They put a poster over it and hid it from us.

That night, our Emily came in crying and confessing. She could not stand the guilt.

We are similar with God, we know we have done wrong so we put a poster over it.

Or we are like Emily, we cannot stand the guilt, so we confess.

In our lives we sin, there’s no denying it. The thing boils down to this, do we really want to confess. The fear of punishment is a factor but, in the end; love wins out.

Emily was afraid of getting a spanking but,her love for her parents made her come and confess.

When a person sins, they do one of two things; run to or run away.

Lord when we do wrong, let the love placed in our hearts, turn us to you. If for whatever reason we run, please draw us back. Amen!!!
