I have a story for you...there was once this strapping high school student who was celebrating his seventeenth birthday. The party was a blast, and after this young lad went around dropping his amigos and amigas off. He arrived at the girls house, and everyone went in to talk for a minute. After a bit the gang left except for one gentleman who couldn't stop flirting...so this birthday boy decided it would be funny to hide from the flirt. So he began to pull away from the house, but as he began to pull away the boy inside saw him and took off after the car. He caught up to the car and jumped onto the trunk...this was an opportunity the birthday boy could not and would not pass up, so he swung the car around going 25 and threw the other lad off the back. Everyone got out of the car to find the trunk jumper banged up pretty badly...at that same time the driver and the faller both realized they were going to get into some serious trouble...so they came up with a lie. They decided they would both tell their parents they were chasing each other and the other boy tripped and fell over a garden gnome (if you're thinking...LAME...then you're correct). The story was told, but the bruised and battered boy's parents did not believe him...so they eventually cracked him, and soon after his parents called the birthday boy to let him know he had 15 minutes to tell his parents the truth before she did...BUSTED!!!
In this story, the birthday boy was me and the bruised friend still has a scar on his face to this day (funny...but not so funny). I tell this because isn't this how we are at so many points in our lives...i know this is long but stick with me...we mess up, and just like I tried to cover up my mistake from my parents we try to cover up our junk from God. We talked about truth this week...and another truth is God forgives. I know this is my second time writing on this...but this is so important to me...
