““As I rest in Father's arms and contemplate this thing in peace, I recognize a habit we are taught as Christians - to search ourselves for our sins. But I remember that David didn't search himself. He asked God to find any wicked ways in him. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 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.””
