Just came back from practise from the rally. I do find the theme really interesting. To put in it a more simple form - 'Is Your Life Rewritable?'. I'm really interested to hear what the message will be for this theme not only applies to non-christians but also to christians. Our God is a God of second chances, even after we failed Him so much He's still there to pick us up and give us a fresh start at life. Trust me, I've gone through it. No matter what we did before, God still forgives.

Recently I heard a really interesting story. Its a story about this little boy who was playing in the yard one day. As he was practising his sling shot, no matter how hard he tried he stilled misses the target. His grandmother then called him back for dinner after awhile. As he was walking along the yard back to the house he saw his granny's favourite duck and took out his sling shot to see if he could hit it. As he took aim and released the stone he hit the duck straight on the head and it dropped dead. The litte boy panicked and tried to cover up his crime buy burrying the duck thinking his granny didn't see but his elder sister did see the whole incident.

So as he went back for dinner, he acted like nothing had happend, all is normal. After dinner, his granny asked his sister to help out with the washing but his sister told her granny that her little brother would volunteer to help out while whispering in the little boy's ear that she will spill the beans if he didn't do it. Being threatend, the little boy obliged and went to help his granny with the dishes while his sister went and watch tv. The next day as granny was cleaning up the house, grandpa asked if the little boy would like to follow him fishing while his sister stayed back to help granny with the cleaning. Eger to go fishing the little boy jumped to his feet to get ready but his joy only lasted that while as his sister again whispered to him that if the didn't stay back to help granny she would spill the beans. Again left with no choice he obliged and stayed back to help with the cleaning while his sister went fishing with grandpa.

While the little boy was helping with the cleaning he finally couldn't take it being bullied by his sister like that and he finally confessed to his granny. To his surprise his granny wasn't angry but replied 'I saw what you did that day and was just waiting for you to confess'. God indeed sees all our faults, all our sins. Can we hide anything from the almighty? Do we enjoy being bullied and letting the devil make us feel guilty? How far can we run from the all powerful and all kowing God? God gave us this life to live and He wants us to live it to the full accourding to His Word not to be under satan's yoke of feeling guilty and sorry for ourselves everyday.

The thief commeth not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
