    God’s mercy meets us in our deepest failures; true repentance brings cleansing, renewal, and restored joy for those who honestly turn to Him.

    Some of us walked in today with a knot in the stomach and a stone in the soul. We know the sound of shame. It whispers in the quiet moments, it shouts in the sleepless hours. Guilt that gnaws.
