All in Lies

Do we accept responsibility for our sins, or are we like a lying child who won’t face something he has done, choosing to make an excuse, or blame it on another instead? When we have succumbed to the snare of temptation, and done a wrong thing, we will certainly face the punishment for it, we will get our just desserts, and yes, we will have fallen into a hole that we dug for ourselves. So how often is it that we deny our sinfulness, hoping that we can escape the inescapable judgement of God... only to be discovered in the act, and called to task for it?
