"Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore, He teaches sinners in the way." ~Psalms 25:8

"The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy...He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities." ~Psalms 103:8‭, 10

Praise your Father in Heaven is faithful to (t)His promise. If He dealt with you according to your sin...and if sin is the disregard and rejection of truth...then His saving truth would be withheld from you. Praise your Father in Heaven that He mercifully instructs you in the way you should go and guides you with His eye (Psalm 32:8) by revealing His saving truth (1 Corinthians 2:10-12) and giving you understanding (Psalm 119:18) that you may regain the path of life (Jeremiah 6:16) and be redeemed from the captivity of the Enemy. (Psalm 107:1-2)

"And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” ~Mark 2:16‭-‬17

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting." ~Psalms 139:23‭-‬24

"Now in my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved.” Lord , by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled. I cried out to You, O Lord ; And to the Lord I made supplication: “What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth? Hear, O Lord , and have mercy on me; Lord , be my helper!” You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever." ~Psalms 30:6‭-‬12
