ACCOUNTABILITY
(2 Samuel 11:26-12:13)
Nathan’s little tale
mirrored David’s behaviour,
held him to account.

Selfish, evil, wrong,
David earned God’s displeasure
and trouble ensued.

Yet however great
David’s abuse of power,
God’s grace is greater.

Right, wrong, in-between,
we each are accountable
to exercise love.
