Some questions don't announce themselves. They show up late at night, when you're scanning your past for the reason something in your present feels stuck. Did I do something wrong?

In this episode of My Question for You, Melissa sits with the quieter question underneath that one: Am I being punished by God for who I used to be? Anchored in John 9:1-3 and the story of Paul — first in his past (1 Timothy 1) and then in his present (2 Corinthians 12) — this reflection gently dismantles the hidden equation so many faithful people are carrying. The one that says pain must be punishment, that old chapters block new blessings, that God is keeping a tally.

He isn't.

Your past is not your sentence. And the very places you thought disqualified you might be the places His power is preparing to show up most.
