2Samuel 12:7-10,13; Psalm 32:1-2,5,7,11; Galatians 2:16,19-21; Luke 7:36-8:2

spurning
the Lord
evil is done
in God’s sight
confronted
the mind
sees it
for what it is
sin
ingratitude
betrayal
of God’s word
and the heart
is stricken
by the knowledge
of what has been done
and confesses
its need
for mercy

forgiven
love is
poured out
at His feet
shelter is taken
in His life
and lived
in the freedom
of faith
no longer
captive
of the law
the Spirit
rejoices
and gives thanks

Do you know your need for mercy?
