consequence for sin...
I just lied to someone. I lied because I thought the truth would hurt them. I thought that because of insecurities the truth would be misinterpreted and hurt them. So... in a heroic act I would save them from themselves and avoid the entire situation with a lie. Immediately afterwards I realized what I was doing. I was lacking trust. I say that she's a a good christian girl. She knows her stuff, and she is strong. I say these things, but I lie because I think she's insecure. WHAT!? That doesn't make sense at all. LET YOUR YES BE YES AND NO BE NO! Believe what you say, and speak the truth. Worry only about your problems not the "problems" (or what you assume to be problems) of someone else. I've really screwed things up now. Now it's out of my hands. I'm now left to deal with the train wreck I've created. It's a strange feeling when your future is not in your hands. It's then when you realize that it is in God's. I want to say I've learned my lesson, which I have, but the wreck is still there and that doesn't really help at all. Life is such a learning process. I hurt someone I care about. I'll do anything I can to restore what was broken, but I can't! I don't know what to do. It is absolutely out of my hands.
