We can never exhaust the supply of love that God has for us. His love is inexhaustible! Many fall and have figured out in their mind that there is no way God can forgive them. David was a recipient of that inexhaustible love. He sinned. He was confronted, and he repented. Many people like to label sin and divide sin into categories where some are worse than others. Let me say this, sin is sin. The Bible in the book of James 4:17 (NIV) says; ”Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.” The prophet Nathan tactfully confronted David about his sin, even David’s cover up. David reacted in repentence. He expresses this repentance in Psalm 51;
“1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. “
David’s repentance was genuine. He knew he had done wrong in the sight of God. David Youngren in his book “Life From The Inside Out” wrote the following:
“God’s unfailing love will never let go, regardless of all the wrongs committed against it. It is a kind of love that doesn’t push people away, no matter how much they’ve sinned against God. God still loves with a stedfast love.”
Let me share with you what God’s love is:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.” (1 Cor. 13:4-8)
This was just a thought I wanted to share today…
May God richly bless you and keep you!
