Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” Psalm 139:23-25 Suddenly I understand how Father was using this dream to bring me truths. David's request puts the job of searching for sin squarely in Father's lap and then leaves the outcome also to Him.””
