As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Psalm 103:12

The window washer’s squeegee glides across the window, erasing away dirt, grime, and water spots and leaving behind a crystal-clear view.

The psalmist tells us that God removes our sin completely — as far as east is from west. He doesn’t just cover our sins or push them aside temporarily; he removes them entirely by Jesus’ cleansing blood and creates in us a clean heart by his Spirit. Like a powerful squeegee removing every stain and leaving behind a spotless view, God has cleansed us by his almighty power, forgiveness, and love. Let gratitude for his cleansing power fill your heart today.

Father, thank you for your unconditional love and complete forgiveness of our sin through your Son’s sacrifice and your Spirit’s cleansing. Empower us to follow you faithfully with a renewed heart. Amen.

Reflect: Today, rejoice in God’s forgiveness, and experience the joy of a clean slate.
