GOD IS AT THE WINDOW

There was a
little boy visiting 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 for
dinner… As he was walking back he saw
Grandma’s pet duck.


Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot
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! Sally had seen it all, but she
said nothing. After lunch the next day
Grandma said, ‘Sally, let’s wash the
dishes’ But Sally said, ‘Grandma, Johnny
told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.


‘ Then she whispered to him, “Remember
the duck?’ So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the
children wanted to go fishing and
Grandma said, ‘I’m sorry but I need
Sally to help make supper.’ Sally just
smiled and said, ‘well that’s all right
because Johnny told me he wanted to
help?


She whispered again, ‘Remember the
duck?’ So Sally went fishing and Johnny
stayed to help. 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 had killed the duck.
Grandma 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. I was just wondering how
long you would let Sally make a slave of
you.’ Thought for the day and every day
thereafter:


Whatever is in your past, whatever you
have done…? And the devil keeps
throwing it up in your face (lying,
cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred,
anger, bitterness, etc…)…whatever it
is..You need to know that:
God was standing at the window and He
saw the whole thing. He has seen your
whole life… He wants you to know that
He loves you and that you are forgiven.


He’s just wondering how long you will let
the devil make a slave of you.. The great
thing about God is that when you ask for
forgiveness;


He not only forgives you, but He forgets.
It is by God’s grace and mercy that we
are saved. Go ahead and make the
difference in someone’s life today.
