The weight of wrong-doing. You've felt it. I've felt it.
The mental and emotional heaviness of heart and conscience ignited by angry words and loaded reactions. The hurtful tone. The lie that kept things in my favor. The greed or entitlement that grabbed instead of gave. The reaction that hurt instead of helped, condemned instead of cared. The selfishness. The loose lips about another. The retaliation. The private relief over the failure of one who hurt first. The bitter heart and rude response. The weight of temptation turned into reality.
The weight. That heaviness of heart and mind left behind from the aftermath of sin. Up close and personal sin or up close and someone else's sin.
The weight of another's choices can prove just as burdensome as the weight of mine. The worry and the wondering of their wrong-doing. The unwanted ramifications. The hurt and betrayal. The shock and disbelief. The loss. The heartache.
Wrong-doing is heavy. It's weight paralyzes. It's oppressive. It keeps one down for the count.
