I may never see tomorrow,
there is no written guarantee.
And things that happened yesterday
Belong to history.

I cannot predict the future
and I cannot change the past.
I have just the present moment;
I must treat it as my last.

I must use this moment wisely
for it soon will pass away
and be lost to me forever
as a part of yesterday.

I must exercise compassion,
help the fallen to their feet
be a friend unto the friendless,
make an empty life complete.

I must make this moment precious
for it will not come again.
And I can never be content
with things that might have been.

Kind words I fail to say this
day may ever be unsaid,
for I know not how short may be
the path that lies ahead.

The unkind things I do today
may never be undone,
and friendships that I fail to win
may nevermore be won.

I may not have another chance
on bended knee to pray,
and thank God with humble heart
for giving me this day.

I may never see tomorrow,
but this moment is my own.
It's mine to use or cast aside;
the choice is mine, alone.

I have just this precious moment
in the sunlight of today.
Where the dawning of tomorrow meets
the dusk of yesterday.

I started lying at a very early age. It all started when i used to hide things from my parents afraid to dissapoint the. But sooner or later they would find out and i was always in trouble. I used to wonder at Gods greatness and how nothing could be hidden from Him! I was always ashamed of my sins and tried to repent and ask for God's forgiveness. No sooner would i repent, when i would fall again to the same sin. I always felt my guilt and shame infront of people i lied to, myself, and above alll God!

Many personal experiments were of no avail! I found that i needed desperate ecclesiastical help. So i approached the priest in confession after exposing all my sins infront of God and felt really sorry, for all the lies i said. I decided on exposing my lies infront of anyone i lie to in the future and more than that, i would fast after every lie. With this in mind, i felt that with such determination, and with God's help, i would overcome such a hideous sin! The sin of lying.

God's work started within me and i took my case very seriously and kept my word by fasting and confessing after each sin of lying. I felt that God was pleased with my effort and i always asked for His help until i would be able to shun away from this sin!

Help me dear God to avoid this sin of deciet and make me perfect in Your sight.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

"You can't walk with God and hold hands with Satan at the same time."
