My Bible: reasons to believe in the power of the Bible

Previous Next

'Last year I was in a relationship with a girl. One day she broke up with me. Since then I have been really heartbroken. I needed someone and something, so I started to reconsider my relationship with God.

Like before that I had always believed in something. But since December I’ve been trying to get back with God. But I wasn’t feeling anything.

Then one day I was watching a film and I broke down in tears, and I was crying. I said, "I’m trying to see you God, but I’m not feeling you." When I stopped crying, I looked at the Bible app on my phone, and I looked at the Bible passage of the day and that’s when I saw this.

It said, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away". When I read that, I was like "wow". I guess God was saying, "I am with you. I can see you are struggling, but I am with you by your side". That was a real sense of relief. It showed me there’s a God.'
