How can something that small.....

When you look at the human appendix, it isn't a large part of the body...a little less than 4 inches long (or about the size of my middle finger), yet when this "little part" of the body ruptured in my body on March 13, 2008, it affected the whole body, almost causing it to shut down permanently. It wasn't until this April that the last of the effects was taken care of....25 months later....and throughout all that time; there was a whole lot of pain and agony that I had to go through.

Now think about sin.....a "little white" lie, a careless thought let slip by, a moment of rash action....yet when it explodes and is exposed in a life, it can cause so much damage- to reputations, to lives, to marriages, etc...sometimes destroying these things in the process. And sometimes, there may be effects that last a whole lifetime and never get relieved. And you can ask those who have been victims of that damage and many of them can tell you that there was so much pain and agony that they are going through.

Yes, there is relief and there is forgiveness, but to be on the safe side and not go through all of those problems....think about what you are doing....before something explodes...and you go through agony when you could have been having joy....
