The Wood Shed

Today, Jesus had a little talk with me in back of the wood shed.  *sigh  "Sheesh what was I thinking?  Well, the truth, I wasn't, I just blurted it out.  Nancy, (I said to myself as I was putting my curlers in) when will you ever learn?  What is it that you needed to gain out of this? "   

 I could feel the  blush creeping up my neck (no hot flash this time).  It was embarrassment.  Not being nice or not holding one's tongue when as a Christian, I know better.  And really it wasn't a big deal and yet it was.  Something I said, which I shouldn't said, and He wouldn't let me forget about it.  I knew He was right, I had to fix it quick, which I did.  And all in all it was quick, simple and over and done.  In the world's view, it would probably be ridiculous to even make amends, it would be considered "insignificant."  In fact, the person I apologized to didn't even give it a second thought.  But from God's point of view, He knew the motives of my heart and sin is sin, which equals unholy.   Gotta' confess it quick, make restitution asap, and then ahhh...it feels so good to be back on the right track.

Search my heart O Lord, and may I be found righteous in your eyes.
