2 Sam 19
Absalom was dead. David mourn for him, so much more that Joab was unhappy that David was concern about Asalom than the men who fought for David.
My father was dead, and I felt a sense of in-depth to him, that I have not done enough for him. He has unselfish, always putting others above self.
Yes, that was still anger in me because ....
David claimed back Jerusalem and we saw in the passage David pronounce judgement on the people who did him wrong. In many surprises, he choose to forgive.
Forgive. Of course to the person who has determine that is no fault of him, he has done nothing wrong. There was no need to aplogize nor a need to ask for forgiveness. But to me, it has caused pain in me to see my father sitting at the back of the kitchen to take his meal. Isolated.
Well, all is gone, the chapter is closed, BUT to me I will take down my pride just as Daivd has - forgive. To me, I will not consider myself above others so that least of all, that some may come to know Christ.
