There is a particular kind of weight that guilt carries. It is not always loud or dramatic — sometimes it is just a low, constant hum beneath the surface of everyday life. A quiet voice that reminds you of what you did, what you said, who you were. It follows you into your best moments and whispers that you do not deserve them. It shows up in your prayer life as a hesitation, a sense that you need to earn your way back before you can really come close to God again.
