The Gospel Truth
with Melz
I had hit rock bottom. I had lost something special, and I felt like I had no purpose, I had always been a strong person, but now I felt like I was drowning in my sorrows.
One morning, as I lay in bed, feeling hopeless, I heard a gentle whisper in my heart: "His compassions fail not, they are new every morning." I remembered the verse from a Bible study I had attended months ago.
At first, I thought it was just a distant memory, but as I repeated the verse to myself, I felt a glimmer of hope. I realized that God's compassion and love for me were not limited to what I had done or accomplished. His love was new every morning, and it never failed.
I slowly got out of bed and began to pray. I asked God to help me see His love and compassion in my life. I started to reflect on the small blessings I had taken for granted - a roof over my head, food on the table, and friends who cared for me.
As I prayed, I felt a weight lifting off my shoulders. I realized that God's love was not based on my performance or circumstances. His love was a constant, unwavering force in my life.
From that day on, I made it a habit to start my day with prayer and reflection. I would repeat the verse to myself, "His compassions fail not, they are new every morning," and ask God to show me His love and guidance.
Slowly but surely, I began to rebuild my life. I recovered what I had lost, reconnected with old friends, and discovered a new purpose. But most importantly, I learned to rely on God's compassions, which never failed me.
