poem summarizing lesson to learn from 2 Samuel 12:1-13 that can also be applied to our lives today and encouragement

1 answer

In the stillness of the night, a tale unfolds,
Of David and Nathan, wisdom bold.
A story spun of sheep and care,
Unveiling truths, a heart laid bare.

The rich man took what was not his,
A simple lamb met cruel disdain,
Yet justice stirred in Nathan’s voice,
To shine a light on pride and pain.

“Oh, King, you’ve strayed, your heart has waned,
For sin, once sown, leaves shadows stained.”
With courage, Nathan dared confront
The king’s missteps, his heavy burden.

In that moment, a mirror held,
Reflecting choices, fear dispelled.
For we, too, tread on paths unwise,
And falter, blind to our own disguise.

So in our lives, where choices lie,
Let honesty be our heart’s reply.
For grace awaits when we confess,
And in humility, seek to redress.

Though consequences may bear weight,
Forgiveness blooms, our hearts elate.
From ancient tales, the lesson stays:
To love, to learn, to mend our ways.

So heed the call, embrace the light,
With courage rise and seek what’s right.
For every heart that longs to mend,
Can find in truth a faithful friend.
