John 8:32 (NIV)
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you
free.
There once was a boy named Billy. His grandfather had a
sling shot. One day he asked his grandfather if he would teach him how to shoot
the sling shot.
His grandfather took into the back woods and began to
teach the boy. The grandfather told Billy to go and practice for a while. Billy
was in the woods , alone, and kept missing everything he shot at.
Billy, on his way back to the house, saw his grandfather's
duck and decided to try his aim with the sling shot once more. Billy took aim
and shot at the duck and hit his mark!! The duck fell over dead!
Billy took the duck, buried it in the ground. As he
looked up he saw his sister, sally standing there watching him attempting to
hide his deeds. Sally and Billy went back into their grandparents house. As
they did so, Billy told Sally not to say anything. Sally said, sure, no
problem. The kids grandfather told Sally to go into the kitchen and help her grandmother
wash the dishes. Sally said, "Billy is the best dish washer in the family,
he would love to wash the dishes. Remember the duck?' Billy washed the dishes
that night.
The next day Billy's grandfather said, "Billy lets
go fishing today. Sally, your grandmother needs your help around the house, so
stay here and help her out."
Sally responded," Billy hates fishing but loves
house work. Isn't that right Billy?"
Billy thought for a minute and decided to confess. Much
to his surprise, his grandfather said, "I know you killed the duck. I saw
you through the window. I also saw your sister standing there watching you. I
just wanted to know how long you would let yourself be your sister’s
slave."
How long will you let yourself be Satan's slave because
of unconfessed sin?? Confess your sin to God, He already knows, He simply wants
you to confess it to Him and ask for His help.
He will help you rid yourself of Satan's grip on your
life. Just ask Him.
Dear Lord, thank You that You area forgiving God. Help us
not hold our sins inside, but instead ask Your forgiveness for them so that we
can be free of them. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
