In the Hebrew mind, we are a whole being; mind, body and spirit. In today's Psalm, David illustrates that belief. When he is overwhelmed with his sin, he describes his pain: "My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly...my back is filled with searing pain' there is no health in my body. I am feeble and utterly crushed..."
Filled with guilt yet fully relying on God's grace to forgive him, he opens his heart to God.
Remember this- our forgiveness does not depend on us, but on God's unconditional grace.
