Beginning of the End - Ellen G. White

Lord,' and You forgave the iniquity of my sin." (Psalm 32:5). David
humbled himself and confessed his sin, while Saul, in contrast,
despised reproof and hardened his heart in making excuses for
himself.
This passage in David's history is one of the most forcible
illustrations given to us of the struggles and temptations of
humanity, and of genuine repentance. Through all the ages,
thousands of God's children who have been betrayed into sin have
remembered David's sincere repentance and confession and have
taken courage to repent and try again to walk in the way of God's
commandments.
All who will humble themselves with confession and
repentance, as David did, may be sure that there is hope for them.
The Lord will never cast away one truly repentant soul.
