2 Samuel 12 vs 15 & 24

¹⁵And Nathan departed unto his house. And the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.

²⁴And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the Lord loved him.

We serve a God who kills as punishment for grievous sins but also shows mercy after repentance.
When David committed adultery and slept with Bathsheba, Uriah’s wife, the Bible says God killed the child that was born out of that act.
But David prayed, fasted, and begged for forgiveness, after which Bathsheba had a second son, Solomon.
God can afflict you because of the sin you commit, but He is quick to show a hand of love once you repent.

When Pain Makes You Comfort-Able
Dear friend, God may very well send someone your way who needs a person who understands. No one can help a woman who is struggling with a wayward teenager like the mother who has welcomed a prodigal home.No one can encourage a woman struggling with depression like the woman who has come out of that same darkness and into the light.No one can help a woman struggling with the pain of a shameful past like the woman who has exchanged her tattered sackcloth for a princess’s robe.That’s why your story matters.
