The Greatest God Guilt

Have you seen this on Facebook?

I am not sure who created this (let me know so credit can go where credit is due), but it is my favorite God Guilt of all time.

Would you please quit staring at Satan for just a moment?

Confession: I didn't share or like the photo, so I'm feeling pretty guilty. Maybe I should start ending every post with "If you love Jesus, like and pass the Gravy."

It reminds me of my childhood when my mom would hold criminal investigations to find out which of her three boys were lying. She would always give us a God Guilt. She would say, "You aren't only lying to me, but you are also lying to God."

Spiritual burn!

While that created havoc with my conscience, at least I didn't feel bad and my butt sting at the same time. Sorry mom, but we were all lying.

I have taken my mother's bad cop strategy and perfected it. Her ceiling is my floor.

I tell my girls, "I'm going to the other room to ask God who did it." I don't even get two feet away before they cave. It works better than a God Guilt, because it creates an unhealthy fear of God.

Question:
What's your favorite God Guilt?

Oh and if you love Jesus, like and pass the Gravy.
