Big things in the world are made up of little things.  Everything big can be broken down into extremely small particles.  Water is made up of drops and drops are made up of molecules and molecules are made up of atoms.  Time can be divided into years, years into days, days into hours and minutes and seconds.

Your life is a composite of individual acts, words and thoughts.  Therefore, if the little things you do and say are kept pure and clean, if every act and word is carefully weighed, the sum total of your life will ad up to something big.

A young boy was fascinated to see the stirrings of life in a cocoon.  The moth inside was struggling to free itself, but the process was slow and tedious.     

Thinking he would help the moth, he slit the cocoon with his pocketknife and the insect emerged freely; however, it was lacking in color, it couldn't fly and it soon died.  The boy later learned that a moth's struggle to free itself is a necessary part of its development and that the process stimulates body fluids that give luster to its wings.

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
I John 1:9 (KJV)

In 1963, Ernesto Miranda was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona, for stealing $8 from a bank worker and was charged with armed robbery.  He already had a record for armed robbery, and a juvenile record, including attempted rape, assault and burglary.  While in police custody, he signed a written confession to the robbery and to kidnapping and raping an 18-year-old woman 11 days before the robbery.  After he was convicted, his lawyers appealed on the grounds that Miranda did not know he was protected from self-incrimination.

Several years ago, a group of fortunetellers, palm readers and crystal ball gazers got together for a convention.  They came from all over the world to compare notes and make predictions about the future, but while they were meeting, some thieves broke into their hotel rooms, stole their crystal balls, Tarot cards and other fortune telling paraphernalia.

When the police arrived to investigate, they asked the obvious question:  "Why couldn't you have predicted this and thus prevented it?  Why didn't you know this was going to happen?"  Of course, they didn't have an answer.
