2 Samuel 12

I've been reading 2 Samuel over the last few days. I'm up to the Bathsheba bit. David's sin is horrendous. Mercilessness, greed, lust, murder, faithlessness, and a gross ingratitude to God. But God's reply to the whole situation is amazing. He forgives David completely as soon as he repents - in the very same verse, in fact. Yes, the consequences of David's sin play out for generations and generations, but David is forgiven. His relationship with God is none the worse for his treachery. Amazing.
