One in a million faces
I often find myself listening to Kutless whenever I feel down, see others in hurt, or feel guilty about something. For me, listening to Kutless is an escape. Escape from reality and escape from this world. It brings me to a place of peace. It just amazes me how much I can relate to their songs. "I know that you blame me for all that you go through. It could be so different if you would just let it go." It's true. We all hold onto things from the past. We can't seem to let what happened in the past go. The longer we hold on to it, the more corrupt our lives become. We can strive for a good future if we can let things go from the past. "You're all alone. Running out of ways to hold on to hope, and it always slips away. You're all alone, but you don't have to pretend to cope, there is a brighter way." Whenever I seem to have a grasp on hope, it always seems to slip away. I often find myself thinking things won't get better but when in reality, there is a brighter way and things will turn around. "If you would change your perspective, you'd see that it is true. Life is not always what you want. Sometimes it's hard to bear. I'd be with you, and help you in all that you go through. I love you, let Me change your heart by coming in." We often times think that God is out to get us. Why would he put us through such pain and suffering? Why can't life go the way we want? But the truth is, we feel this way because we don't have God in our hearts and if we did, we would know that God put us through experiences to test us. He loves us and will always be there for us if we just let him. Lastly, the thing I've been struggling with most is facing my sins. I feel torn. I have sinned and I know it. I've lied. I've cursed. I've blamed others, and I've doubted God. "I give you my life, then I run in haste. With my two lips I will praise Your name. Then I turn around and only curse and blame. I give in, strength is thin adding to my shame." I have sinned. I know it and I'm not afraid to deny it. Sometimes I don't feel worthy of God's grace. I go to church, I pray, I praise his name, then I turn around and disgrace him. And its hard for me to accept that, but thats the thing about God. He loves us no matter what. He knows that we sin but as long as we ask for forgiveness, we will always be erased of our sins. Thats why God's love is so great. He will take you back, always. When you feel trapted and lost, just remember that freedom is just a perspective away. Many feel that they pray and nothing happens. I too feel this at times. It's like your in a world of millions of people and you really don't matter. Why should anyone care about your problems? But the truth is God cares and he hears our prayers. Even in a world of millions of people, we can easily feel lost in a "sea of faces" but to God, you'll always stand out. To the people around you, your just one in a million faces, but not to God. He hears everyone of our prayers and even if they are left unanswered, you just need to trust the unseen.
