This week\u2019s passage is 2 Samuel 14:1-24. We see David long to see Absalom and Joab wanting David to see the situation from a different perspective. It can be hard to look at things differently. Looking at things from someone else\u2019s perspective helps us see things more clearly. David is experiencing literal and figurative death. God is the same in both the Old and New Testaments, \u201cGod does not just sweep life away, instead, he devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from him.\u201d 2 Samuel 14:14; this has always been and always will be God\u2019s heart for people. Everything gets really messy in Davids\u2019s life as a result of his sin. Without Jesus, our lives can spiral downward just as David\u2019s. Changing our perspective requires us to let go of our judgments and opinions. My life is without peace when I try to hold on to \u201cmy way\u201d. The promise that God\u2019s character is always the same and that God\u2019s heart is for reconciliation. Despite our messes God has always had the heart to brings us back to Himself and has made the way through Jesus. \xa0
