King David commits adultery, and murder (2 Sam 11)...
It's smacks of a movie, albeit 1951.
Yet, the seriousness is that the Messiah will have the title
"Son of David."
Is this possible?
Get back to the text!
King David laments his sins (Ps 51)
and asks forgiveness from God.
And that is the key.
He was able to apply the Power of God's Forgiveness,
as repeatedly told in the Old Testament:
to live it, to be guided by it,
to know it is never "the end."
Let’s allow ourselves to be guided by the Word of God.
No sin is too big or too small that it is outside of God's forgiveness.
Why remain in guilt when Jesus has taken your sin away?
Why remain in your sin?
Why keep others in their sins of the past?
Expect to reap the fruit of God's kingdom of forgiveness (Mk 4:26-34)
with a full ear of grown seed
when you live in God's Kingdom!
You "live in God's kingdom" through today's Password:
Let’s allow ourselves to be guided by the Word of God.
Let the "birds of the air" nest in your wisdom, your love,
your being able to rise above your guilt
in God's forgiveness for you,
so as to help others in their guilt.
They are "the birds" needing your friendship,
your unconditional love, your forgiveness
because God has forgiven them.
Why perpetuate their guilt
because of your reluctance to forgive them?
Let them nest in your tolerance, your understanding,
your incarnating Christ's love in your love.
Let’s allow ourselves to be guided by the Word of God.
Live out David's plea,
"God, create in me a clean heart,
renew within me a resolute spirit,
do not thrust me away from your presence,
do not take away from me your spirit of holiness."
God did so for David,
and the Gospel reminds us repeatedly that
God has done so for you, and the one you cannot forgive.
Now we live it:
Let’s allow ourselves to be guided by the Word of God.
Stay blessed!
