We all know the feeling of being covered over by things.  Most of us can say at one time or another, I’m covered over in laundry!! After preparing a big meal, we may be up to our neck in dishes! Some may feel the load of debt. 

But there’s nothing heavier than being deep in our sin.  The weight of guilt and sorrow can nearly bury us. It buries us under guilt and shame and will often be the reason some Christians turn away from following the Lord! What are we to do when we feel we are in a deep place because of our sin?

All sin is alike to God, it doesn’t even matter if it is what we would call a “little sin” or a “big one.”  It all is the same before a holy God. 

I clearly remember one time as an adult that I was having a conversation with an old friend who was visiting.  She asked me a probing question about something and my answer was a lie.  I had my reasons which all seemed logical – but it was a sin!  As soon as I said it, the Spirit of God convicted me. The weight of it was heavy.
