"Nighttime in his heart as well" and in mine too. His Light pushes out all those dark corners. Picturing Nic scared to death but so wanting more. I'm kind of scared in my present circumstance but I refuse to live in darkness. Loved the thought.

Kill...Even David did wrong in the Eyes of the Lord. Killing Uriah displeased the Lord, of course. But what I love in this story is David's example of how to respond when we've sinned. <br />!. He turned back to the Lord in grief and fasting and prayer on behalf of the child. <br />2. He believed God would deal with him. <br />3. He suffered the consequences. <br />4. He mourned his loss. <br />5. He picked himself up, broken hearted, and moved forward with his life, remembering the Lord. <br /><br />The Lord gives him another chance. Solomon, beloved of the Lord, is born. <br /><br />Life is full of opportunities to return to the Lord. Sin is everywhere, and God is waiting for His children to return. <br /><br />"Return unto me and I will return unto you." <br /><br />PS And don't you love Nicodemus coming to Jesus at night with his curious heart. Wonder if he was losing sleep over his burning questions. Wonder if he was just scared to be seen with Jesus...Nighttime in his heart as well.annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993065518117027383noreply@blogger.com
