If we're already forgiven, why do we need to repent?
Guilt. I feel its sting in the aftermath of the stupid choices I make. It can feel like God is a thousand miles away, but nothing could be further from the truth.
A cool shower, fresh laundry, a baby after a bath. Clean is such a good feeling, isn't it? Yet external freshness can't compare to the incredible joy of experiencing God’s cleansing in our hearts, minds, and bodies.
