📖 Daily Meditation

In a tender reflection from a Night of Agape with middle and high school girls, Rachael Adams (host of The Love Offering Podcast) shares a moving testimony on the weight of guilt, the healing power of grace, and the radical freedom found in forgiveness. Through the metaphor of a red Sharpie striking through confessions on a canvas, listeners are invited to lay down their own burdens and embrace the complete cleansing of Christ.

Forgiveness is not just a gift we receive from God—it’s a gift we’re called to extend to others and, sometimes, to ourselves. This devotional meditation reminds us that when God forgives, He forgets, and in His mercy, we can live unburdened by the past.
