2 Samuel 12:13
"Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." Nathan answered David: "For his part, the LORD has removed your sin. You shall not die,"
Forgiveness, we all need it but we sometimes hold onto things. This eats at us in ways we do not realize, even when we have put it out of our immediate thoughts. David acknowledges his wrong doing, he owned up to it and Nathan responds with "For his part, the LORD has removed your sin. You shall not die,"
For his part, as I read this it implies that God has done His part but there is more to be done. David needs to do his part. There is a price to pay for our sins, we will pay it either in this life or the next but we will not die if we seek repentance.
Dear Heavenly Father, you do not ask much of us only to honor you with our lives. I thank you for your teachings that we all receive. I thank you for another day to be in your presence and I look forward to receiving you during mass. May others see what they are missing and come home. May they come to realize the oneness you provide in our Catholic faith. In Jesus name, Amen.
