Good Morning, God,
The headlines were about how the murder case of a 7-year-old girl 'way back in 1957 has finally been solved with the arrest of the alleged perpetrator. It seems that his alibi that he was on a train at the time collapsed because the ticket was found unused. Then all of the alibis fell like a house of cards.
Lord, unless a person is completely amoral, never knowing right from wrong, the revealing of our crimes and sins relieves tremendous pressure on our conscience, that part of us that has your breath within us. When you made us, you gave us the freedom to choose right or wrong, but hoping that we would always choose the right. But when we don't, you gave our conscience the ability to feel niggles, nudges and out-and-out convictions that what we have done is very wrong. Then you gave us the incredible gift to "clear our conscience" through confession, forgiveness, possible punishment and restitution.
Lord, may we always have a clear conscience in your sight and in the sight of others.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
