A Legacy Of Repentance
Read: Psalm 51
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart. —Psalm 51:17
All nations have heroes, but Israel may be alone in making epic literature about its greatest hero’s failings (Ps. 51). This eloquent psalm shows that Israel ultimately remembered David more for his devotion to God than for his political achievements.
Step-by-step, the psalm takes the reader through the stages of repentance. It describes the constant mental replays, the gnawing guilt, the shame, and finally the hope of a new beginning that springs from true repentance.
In a remarkable way, Psalm 51 reveals the true nature of sin as a broken relationship with God. David cries out, “Against You, You only, have I sinned” (v.4). He sees that the sacrifices God wants are “a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart” (v.17). Those, David has.
In his prayer, David looks for possible good that might come out of his tragedy and sees a glimmer of light. Perhaps by reading this story of sin others might avoid the same pitfalls, or by reading his confession they might gain hope in forgiveness. David’s prayer is answered and becomes his greatest legacy as king. The best king of Israel has fallen the farthest. But neither he, nor anyone, can fall beyond the reach of God’s love and forgiveness.
—Philip Yancey
Repentance is the soil in which forgiveness flourishes.
How blest is he whose trespass
Has freely been forgiven,
Whose sin is wholly covered
Before the sight of heaven. —Psalter

| 耶稣袮怜悯我 代替我钉在十架上
袮是我心中的赞美
遮盖我一切罪过 了解我的软弱
我的主 我的拯救者
如果袮赐下医治大能 我必得着医治
如果袮赐下奇妙拯救 我必得着拯救
如果袮圣灵充满 我疾病就必然痊愈 洗净我灵最深处

Many things had happened recently. Big and small storm.
I am amazed at how time flies ..just so fast...
It has been 2.5 years since I came back from Adelaide...
Working life has been very busy and demanding. Being an adult is not easy. Student have much more luxury of being selfish, irresponsible and relaxing lifestyle.
But I guess what has not changed is GOD's faithfulness. In fact His grace is sufficient for us, to go through all big and small problems in life, as long as we place our trust in HIM, in good times and in bad times.
