“Paid in Full!”
Written by Troy Dickens
Psalm 103: 12 “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
Shortly after I got my Driver’s License (many years ago), I borrowed my parent’s car. I backed out of the garage and hit the side of the garage door with the car!
I was scared, but I went to my mom and told her. She didn’t say much, except “Wait and see what your father says”!
There used to be a commercial that said, “When E. F. Hutton talks, people listen!” Well that’s the way it was with Dad. He didn’t say much, so when he did, WATCH OUT!
When dad got home, I was scared sick at what he was going to say and the punishment I expected.
All dad said was “Everything would be okay. Nobody got hurt. It would be all right as long as you pay for it!” That was the end of it.
Dad knew he was talking to a sixteen-year-old kid, without a job, so he didn’t really expect that I would ever pay the damages. I couldn’t. Like I said, I never heard about this issue again.
It’s like God’s grace. When we ask forgiveness for the things we’ve done wrong, God forgives us! End of story! He doesn’t hold what he’s forgiven against us!
Remember, “As far as the east is from the west!”
It’s all about Him
