A little boy visited his grandparents on their farm. He was given a
slingshot to play with in the woods. He practiced, but couldn't hit
the target. Getting discouraged, he headed back to dinner.

As he walked back, he saw Grandma's pet duck. Out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head, and killed it. He was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the woodpile, only to see his sister watching. Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.

After lunch that day Grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes."

But Sally said, Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the
kitchen." Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?" So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing. Grandma said, "I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper."

Sally smiled and said, "Well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help." She whispered again, "Remember the duck?" So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.

After several days of Johnny doing his chores and Sally's, he could stand it no longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt beside Johnny and said, "I know. I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing. Because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you."

Thought for the day: Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done that the enemy throws in your face (lying, debt, fear, hatred, anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, etc.), whatever it is, Jesus Christ was standing at the window and saw the whole thing. He wants you to know He loves you and that you are forgiven. He has paid the debt for whatever the enemy is trying to beat you with. Romans tells us that there is now no condemnation to them in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5 tells
us that we are new creatures in Christ. He wonders how long you will let the enemy make a slave of you. When all we have to do is face the fear and repent. Tell the Father we are sorry and put the failure under the blood of Jesus.....

Remember, God not only forgives you, He forgets. Because of HIS great love!! The biggest hindrance to our walking in healing, peace, joy or anything else that Jesus died for...is to be sin conscience rather than SON conscience.
