00:00:08,165 --> 00:00:17,965
Speaker 1: Life Audio from the Salvation Army. Welcome to Heartbeat. Failure

2
00:00:18,005 --> 00:00:21,045
Speaker 1: is something we all experience. But when we're kids, someone

3
00:00:21,085 --> 00:00:23,485
Speaker 1: is there to soften it by saying it's okay, maybe

4
00:00:23,525 --> 00:00:28,045
Speaker 1: next time. But as adults, failure gets quieter, heavier. We

5
00:00:28,125 --> 00:00:30,725
Speaker 1: don't talk about it as much. We just carry it.

6
00:00:31,165 --> 00:00:33,645
Speaker 1: Maybe you didn't get the job you prayed for, Maybe

7
00:00:33,685 --> 00:00:36,725
Speaker 1: you studied hard and still didn't pass. Maybe you gave

8
00:00:36,765 --> 00:00:39,325
Speaker 1: your best then it just didn't work out. And often

9
00:00:39,405 --> 00:00:42,165
Speaker 1: the only thing people say is try harder next time.

10
00:00:42,805 --> 00:00:45,644
Speaker 1: That doesn't really meet us where we are because the

11
00:00:45,644 --> 00:00:48,925
Speaker 1: truth is failure is a part of being human and

12
00:00:49,085 --> 00:00:52,565
Speaker 1: it's also a place where God meets us all throughout scripture.

13
00:00:52,604 --> 00:00:55,565
Speaker 1: God works through imperfect people, people who didn't get it

14
00:00:55,645 --> 00:00:58,725
Speaker 1: right the first time. So if you're sitting in disappointment today,

15
00:00:59,005 --> 00:01:02,885
Speaker 1: hear this. Your failure is not the end of your story.

16
00:01:03,045 --> 00:01:07,725
Speaker 1: God isn't finished with you yet. For more episodes of Heartbeat,
