Hell is truth seen to late

Monday June 14th, 2nd Samuel 11: 5 David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, "As surely as the LORD lives, the man who did this deserves to die! 6 He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity." 7 Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man! Hell is truth seen to late. Nathan brings the power of story to bear and he gets David to burn with anger against, unbeknownst to him, the deeds of his very own doing. The trap snaps and David hears the truth he was able to hide from his own eyes, You are the man!! Just as in AA where the number one step is to admit there is a problem, the path to wholeness is looking in the mirror and realizing “You are the man, woman, child!!!! After that healing can begin. Until then we are only a poorer version of Lloyd Blankfein claiming to be doing God work. Doing God’s work means we ate from the tree in the garden, liked it, and want more. Responding to God’s calling means we are willing to open our eyes and see our neighbor.
