The First or of a Last at Last

 As I write tonight I am reminded of the prodigy I am. Most if ask would say that they didn't start lying until later in life and that if ask it was their first sin.
  So let me start by saying this was not my first. I had done something wrong and had to lie to cover it up. How amazing it is that when I spoke to my son about this very subject he could see clearly where it was going before I could even finish my story. Since that day I have lied to my parents, my friends, complete strangers, and even lied about stories I've told just because the truth inside my head didn't sound as exciting as the lie. On this point the truth was actually much more exciting than the lie, funny huh.
   The oddist part about lying isn't the lye itself but the barrier it puts between us and father. It is a space that is filled in our hearts that Father can not enter.
 So first I must ask bareing this in mind, what could have been so terribly important to seperate God from my heart? The fact is nothing, generally we play the justifying game ie. I don't want to hurt their feelings or they wouldn't understand or best of all it won't hurt anyone this one is my favorite.
  Remember we are not Christ, we are followers of Christ who are called to be like Christ. Then we are brought back to the original Question. Was the first the last or was it of the last. When Christ put himself upon the Cross he took the weight of our sin upon himself  in a very literal since. So could it be God knew our sinful nature before we where ever born? Yes all to clearly and he still sent his son to bridge the gap between us and him. So remember you are forgiven if you will just humble your heart before the Lord and ask for his forgiveness.
  Sorry side tracked by his love. No matter what sin you have commited it is not above his forgiveness and really not worth lying. The biggest lie you can tell is when you think you can lie to God or tell a half truth. He sees your heart and knows your every breath so don't waste your time with lying its just a speed bump in the way of Gods love through you to others.
 Start your day in prayer and ask God for the strength to no matter what the circumstance you will choose the truth over a temperary fix. Lying never fixes anything. Great love and God speed for your Journey remembering He is with you NOT against you.
