Have you been in the depths of despair, discouragement and shame? Maybe you’ve been living there for some time. The Bible doesn’t ignore the hard aspects of life, but shows us these are normal experiences of living in a broken world. The Bible also helps us to see there’s a bright way forward filled with hope and joy in the midst of that brokenness. Psalm 130 shows us where to go when we’re in the depths of pain and shame — a place where we discover more of the heart of God.
