Feather on the carpet

I came home from work, took off my coat, and kicked off my shoes.

I sighed wearily and plonked myself on the sofa as I reflected upon

the day. As I stared into nothingness my eyes fell upon something

white and wispy, in the middle of the carpet. A white feather?

What was it doing in the middle of my room? How did it get there? And why? I didn’t put it there!  It left me puzzled, but not for long, for I soon caught sight of Georgie! He purred innocently at me, soft, furry and cute, like the cat who’d caught the cream, and I knew he had done the unmentionable! The feather was a tell-tale sign that Georgie had been up to no good! The sin of my cute but malicious moggy had been found out! I shuddered to think of the poor defenceless bird in the hands of a carnivorous cat!

Be sure your sin will find you out. Num 3:23

Like my moggy our natures can be both cute and cruel. We are capable of good, but we are also capable of innate, sinful traits that harm or offend others. Even Adam and Eve tried to hide their sin, but their sin found them out. Our vices cannot be hidden from God. Secret sins frequently come to light. There is nothing God does not see, there is nothing God does not know. God sees all, so let’s confess all to Him who sees all.

Nothing is hidden which will not become manifest, nor secret which shall not be known and come to light. Luke 8:17
