God said “Don’t!”
But I did.
God said “Do!”
But I didn’t.
God said “You sinned.”
I said “I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
God said “Okay.”
I said “Is that all it takes? Is that all I have to do? That was easy.”
God said “For you, maybe.”
I said “What do you mean ‘for me.’ Those were private sins. No one else is involved.”
God said “All sin requires punishment.”
I said “Please don’t punish me.”
God said “All right. I will let Jesus’ punishment on the cross apply to your sins.”
I said “Thank you, Jesus.”
And I will continue to say it as loud as I can throughout all eternity.
