The Duck and The Devil

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.
He wasgivena slingshot to play with .
He practiced in the woods; but he could neverhitthe 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, helet the slingshot fly,
hit the duck square in the head and killed it.
Hewasshocked 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 saidnothing.

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 thekitchen.

"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 andGrandma 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 mehe 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 finallycouldn't stand it any longer.
He came to Grandma and confessed that he hadkilled 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,
butbecause I love you, I forgave you.
I was just wondering how long you wouldlet 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 thewindow and He saw the whole thing.
He has seen your whole life.
He wantsyouto 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 onlyforgives you, but He forgets.
It is by God's grace and mercy that we aresaved.
Go ahead and make the difference in someone's life today.
