The man in the Mirror

After David slept with another man’s wife,
He thought that he could kill two birds with one stone,
Get the husband killed which would cover up the whole thing
Then “inherit” that woman that he lust so after….
As if the story ended there…
Nobody will ever find out....
As if the plot worked as planned….
So when the prophet went to him
And narrated a story about a man
Who did something evil,
Who had everything at his disposal and deprived a poor man,
Of the most precious asset that he could ever had…
The king was infuriated,
This man deserved to die,
This was PREPOSTEROUS,
The messenger let him vent for a while…
Then he shown him his OWN image in that mirror…
It’s YOU king…
The TRUTH shall set you FREE…
Often we get outraged at someone else’s action
Because there is a camera that takes “great shot” of their imperfections…
And we forget to take a closer look at ourselves
And examine the man in the mirror…
What was so great about David,
Was that when he was confronted with the TRUTH,
He did not wrestle against it…
He did not say “how dare you”,
Don’t you know … who I am…
But he felt to his knees and poured his soul out unto God,
In the confession of Psalm 51...
We are not perfect, we miss the mark at times
But He is a God of mercy,
He is a God of second chances,
Let nobody tell you otherwise…
Just like the prodigal son, run into his arms.
His grace is more than enough...
