Psalm 139:13-16 ESV /
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them."
(JGL Note: As a medical doctor I find these verses fascinating. They describe the development of the fetal child from conception and implantation as an embryo, "my unformed substance...woven in the depths of the earth"(uterine wall); and the development "intricately woven...knitted together" into a "frame" (bony structure). The Hebrews had a knowledge of God's hands working with and through them their entire lives for He was the One who "knitted me together...My soul knows it very well.") How precious are the little ones to God.
But There is Forgiveness For Sin See John 8:1-11 This is the story of the woman caught in the act of adultery. The Scribes and Pharisees asked Jesus what should they do. The law made it legal to stone her to death (Lev. 20:10). But Jesus said "he who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." He then wrote in the ground, and they left one by one. He then spoke to the woman and asked where the ones were who condemned her. She said "no one." He then said, "neither do I condemn you; go your way. From now on sin no more." And in 1 John 1:9 it says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." NASB Bible
