Whenever we do something wrong, Jesus Christ sees it. He loves us and doesn’t say it. Perhaps he’s wondering how long we’ll keep our mind suffering. A little boy named Johnny was visiting his grandparents on their farm and he was given a slingshot(弹弓) to play with out in the woods. He36for some time but he could never hit the target he had set for himself. Getting a little37, he walked back to the farmhouse for dinner. As he was _ 38back, he saw Grandpa’s pet duck.

You see, I was watering the flowers at the window50I saw you shoot my duck with the slingshot, and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I 51you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally 52_ of you.”
In reality, no matter how53__or how uncomfortable it is to admit our wrongdoing, we should always choose to 54 it and work it through instead of running away from it. Hard as it is, it55us and makes us who we are.
