In the way of righteousness there is life, along that path is immortality.

Proverbs 1220.

Elementary school was a difficult time for me.

I was picked on quite a bit. One afternoon as I waited for the bus

a classmate ridiculed me relentlessly. My anger was building slowly, but when he

said something about my mother, I walked over and kicked

his kneecap and he crumbled to the ground.

I boarded my bus feeling ashamed.

All the way home, my conscience conscience told me that was wrong. I got off

the bus at home and waited for the school to call my parents, but the phone didn't

ring. While it appeared I had gotten away with injuring that kid, condemnation

ran through my thoughts. Not only was that wrong, but you are wrong. Even at such a young age I resisted turning to God because of my

self-condemnation. Surely he wanted nothing to do with such a naughty kid.

Isn't it heartbreaking how our conscience, something hardwired within all

humanity by our Creator, can be twisted in such a way as to distance us from Him?

Some of you are still struggling with your little judge.
