Has this ever happened to you?
Too sleepy, you slip under your fuzzy blanket.
Then you realize: you have a toenail hangnail and it's playing tangles with your blankie.
Already too comfy and snoozy, you decide, "I'll deal with this tomorrow." Wrong! Because you're constantly awake, that itty-bitty hangnail still tangling with your blanket. Arrgh!
Sin IS like that. Put off dealing with it, you're soon tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Guilt hounds you. Your peace and joy stolen.
So I snipped off ye pesky hangnail in the middle of the night—anyway. Took me ages to decide. Tried to do it in the dark. Didn't work. Turned on the light. Snipped! Whew!
Don't let the sun go down on your sin or your anger or your hate or your angst. Because every little sin entangles.
Jesus is your light! While still entertaining that itsy-bitsy sin in your mind, snip it. Nip it in the bud! Temptation's that way. Itty-bitty, unless cut off, soon engulfs you.
Repent. Be back in the Savior's good grace. That's the peace that allows sleep. I'm back to dreamland. 😌😌😌
