Imagine being able to deadlift over 1,000 pounds. That’s what Brian Shaw, a famous weightlifter, did. The bar was bending in half under the weight as he lifted it. Can you imagine how heavy that must have felt? His muscles burning, his joints aching. But imagine the feeling when he finally put all that weight down. It must have felt like he could fly! Well, that’s what forgiveness feels like.

When we hold on to hurt, guilt, and shame, it’s like carrying around a massive weight. But when you accept God’s forgiveness, it’s like putting that weight down and feeling free. Maybe today is the day you let go of whatever has been weighing you down. You can ask God to take the burden, so you can experience the freedom that comes with forgiveness.

This week, think about something that's been weighing you down. Then, take a moment to pray and ask God to help you let it go.
