Yaasu Maxaafaa 2:8-9

Have you felt the silent burden of guilt that has pushed you away from God? Leviticus 5:17 reminds us that guilt can exist even when we don't realize we've sinned, and the enemy uses it to make us hide. Scripture offers a different perspective. Rahab received mercy through faith, and Jesus showed kindness to the woman caught in adultery, offering forgiveness instead of judgment. Over the next three days, we will see that God’s goal is not to shame us, but to redeem and restore. May you realize that God’s grace is greater than the guilt you bear.
