Remember the duck

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. And he was given a slingshot to play without in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target. And 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 woodpile, but his sister 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, Johny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen today, didn't you Johny?" And then she whispered to him, "Remember, the duck?" So Johny did the dishes. Later Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing, and Grandma said, "I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper." But Sally smiled and said, "Well, that's all right because Johny told me he wanted to help." And she whispered again, "Remember, the duck?" So Sally went fishing and Johny stayed. After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally'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 becoz I love you, I forgave you. But I was just wondering how long would you let Sally make a slave of you."

I don't know what's in your past. I don't know what sin the enemy keeps throwing up in your face. But whatever it is, I want u to know something. Jesus Christ was standing at the window. And He saw the whole thing. But bcoz He loves U, He has forgiven U. Perhaps He's wondering how long you'll let the enemy make a slave out of U.
The great thing about God is that He not only forgives, but He forgets!!!

Jesus is watching U.. Hez saying "one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out " John6:37 So Come to Him with all Ur sinful hearts and get released from sin.
