Sin and bugs. (and how they both effect our lifes)

On occasion we will have bugs in our house, and every time we see a bug its a mad dash to kill it.
But on the other hand, sometimes i am just to lazy and i let it continue its happy bug life.
On one such day of laziness, i thought..hmmm, bugs are like sin. if we are lazy sin grows and multiplies. if we kill it when the Lord reveals, its gone. as far as the east is from the west.  just some thoughts for your day:)

Tis' so sweet to trust in Jesus

And to take Him at His word

Just to rest upon His promise

And to know thus saith the Lord.

Jesus, Jesus how i trust Him

How i've proved Him o're and o're

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus

O for grace to trust Him more.
