Do You need a Natan close to You?

King David was to be on the battlefield, but he made a different decision; stay in the palace, one day he walked on the roof and there he saw a beautiful woman, He want to meet this woman so He sent man for her. Who could resist the command of a king? So Betzabeth came but From this furtive encounter a life was born, so she did not hesitate to let the king know of that fact, David sent to bring urias to the palace and there persuade urias to sleep with betzabeth and so the future birth was not signaled as a result of deceit and betrayal , however this valuable warrior man, loyal to the kingdom and his king refused to go to sleep with his wife and rather take care of the integrity of the one who he served, so seeing David that it was not a successful plan, I send to this Man to the strongest place in the battle so that he died, when this happened, he brought Betzabeth to the palace. It draws my attention that an event is not signaled in which some person close to David, who openly showed his faith to the God of heaven, took a position to warn and confront the false steps that this man pointed out in 1 Samuel 13:14 according to the heart of God, he was giving, even though he had at his disposal a court of wise men and counselors and it is that when abundance accompanies man, the interests of third parties surround him.

It's good that there are always men like Nathan the prophet, servant of the Most High God, who could not have doubles of character, and did not refuse to see David, without fearing positions and endowments, with a story he knew he demanded justice from someone Larger, he assaulted the vigilante side of David and came to break what one day had captured his understanding, because after examining and convincing himself of his faults, I search with all his strength for the restoration of his personal relationship with the God who I loved.

This time of mentoring, of self-help, there is not a lot of constructive criticism, even in the positions of leadership, face-to-face confrontations are avoided that could confront the lies, the wrong decisions, silence the rumors, misunderstandings and sin. The interest and the lack of honesty have not allowed us to have natanes in our lives, and that men like these are also necessary in our lives, they are that important part in our integral growth and of those who would be happy to find the value of honesty. I think I need those people who are not afraid to tell me about what they may be failing, who insist on looking me in the eye to speak to me and avoid doing it behind my back, holding out my hand and showing me that restorative side of God and you ¿ what do you think? Do you need a Nathan in your life?
