In 2 Samuel 12, the prophet Nathan confronts King David about his sins. David models what to do when we are convicted of our sins. Godly conviction is something that can easily be mistaken for shame. Shame is a tool of the enemy, aiming to trap us and remind us of our mistakes, keeping us stuck in our sins like mud at the bottom of a hole. On the contrary, Godly conviction acts as a guiding rope, pulling us out of the pit and drawing us closer to Jesus. God doesn't seek to shame us; instead, he leads us toward something new and better. When we genuinely repent, we have the chance to partner with God and witness his kingdom breakthrough in our lives.
