King David had messed up, badly, but he understood that God was full of mercy, compassion, and unfailing love. Instead of hiding or trying to cover up his sin, David implored God to sanctify his heart, to examine its intent and cleanse it from all impurity; and then he asked God to “restore” to him “the joy” of His salvation.

(Guess who’s been cured of her pre-washing fabric laziness?) To have battled through all of the measurement and sewing setbacks, only to be stymied at the very end felt so frustrating!...]]></description><link>https://www.perfectlymadeperfectlyloved.com/post/white-as-snow</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6984a388889819a51f0c7e23</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Feb 2026 14:43:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9f4f38_d7ccca869e0040b186c4e6530caec44f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sarah Bendson</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Little Bit Testimony,                    A Little Bit Purpose]]></title><description><![CDATA[When I was a young teenager, my family attended a church that believed that we, as Christians, are called to live lives of perfection. Armed with (and, I mean, sort of rightfully so) Matthew 5:48 , we were admonished, week-in and week-out, to “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Overachieving, Type A personality, 14-year-old me did not, in any way, feel daunted by this idea.
