About this episode

In today’s episode, you’ll hear a devotion written by Melissa Taylor based on Isaiah 53:5, which says, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed” (NIV).


We hope today’s devotion encourages you that no matter what you’ve been through, you are a child of God, worthy of love.
