Do you remember Edgar Allen Poe's story, ... The Telltale Heart?
In that story, ... the main character committed a murder ... and he buries the body of the victim ...in his basement.
Yet ... the murderer is unable to escape the haunting guilt... of his deed.
He begins to hear...... the heartbeat of his dead victim.
A cold sweat pours over him ... as that heartbeat goes on and on, relentlessly, ... getting louder and louder.
Eventually, ... it becomes clear ... at least To the reader... that the pounding which drove the man mad ...was not in the grave below ...but the beating ... in his own ... chest. (Pause)
You get the sense ... that is how David felt.
The guilt ... became unbearable.
Beloved ... Sin unless addressed ... will haunt you ... and haunt you ...and haunt you!
