LOVE LETTERS|DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR SINGLES|DAY 262

Scripture for today

2 Samuel 12:22, 24 AMPC

David said, While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows whether the Lord will be gracious to me and let the child live? 24 David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went to her and lay with her; and she bore a son, and she called his name Solomon. And the Lord loved [the child];

We studied about the lessons from David's affair and what we can learn from it as singles. We saw how sin creeps in little by little when we depart from our point of assignments and begin to pursue rest and relaxation. We also saw how the act of sex can destroy a whole generation of God's own chosen people, also how one sin always leads to another when we try to cover it all up. 

 Today,  we will be looking at how God restores us when we repent and come back to him,  I have come to realize that one of the greatest weapon the devil uses against us is guilt. David repented of his sin and that was all, though he still had to bear the consequences of his wrong doings (2 Samuel 16:21-22). God restored you totally and he doesn't take out your wrong doings on you by leaving you empty. He restores and beautifies our lives no matter how messed up it might have been. He brought out a beautiful Solomon from a messed up love affair. 

From your messed up past he will give you a great message for your generation, go to him with boldness even if you know how much you have gone astray. He loves you to a fault. 

Prayer: Father, help me come to you with boldness even when I feel so ashamed.
