There was a little boy who visited his grandparents on their farm.
He was given a slingshot to play with, out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target.
Getting a little discouraged, he headed back ..to dinner.
As he was walking back, he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of
impulse, he let 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 wood pile, only to see his sister watching. Onome had seen it all, but she said nothing.
After lunch that day grandma said, "Onome, let's wash the dishes."
But Onome said, "Grandma, John told me he wanted to help in the kitchen today, didn't you John?. And then she whispered to
him,
"Remember, the duck?" So John did the dishes.
Later Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing, and Grandma said,
"I'm sorry but I need Onome to help make supper."
But Onome smiled and said, "Well, that's all right because
John told me he wanted to help." And she whispered again,
"Remember, the duck?" So Onome went fishing and John stayed.
After several days of John doing both his chores and
Onome's, he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he killed the duck.
She knelt down, gave him a hug, and said,
"Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I forgave you.
But I was just wondering how long would you let Onome make a slave of you."
I don't know what's in your past.
I don't know the one sin the enemy keeps throwing up in your face.
But whatever it is, I want you to know something.
Jesus Christ was standing at the window and He saw the
whole thing. But because He loves you, He is ready to forgive you.
Perhaps He's wondering how long you'll let the enemy make a
slave out of you. The great thing about God is that He Forgives & as well Forgets
