In January of 2016 the Lord gave me a scripture to study. I didn’t know it at the time, but it would be at least a year-long study. Honestly, it’s still stewing in my heart. It has become a filter for my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord;

I personally find the redemption story of David and Bathsheba to be the most hopeful. That’s probably because it’s the most relatable for me. No, I haven’t killed anyone.
