people usually question the negative circumstances in their lives...
why did i lose my job?
why did he die?
why is my marriage so hard?
why am i having so many financial problems?
i often wonder why zachary was taken away from us...and i don't know why i wonder...because i know it was for Heaven's gain! i think God knew i would need a purpose for living...even though when zachary left us, i didn't want to live anymore...honestly, i didn't want to take my life, but i really didn't want to live either. zachary's short life was and is a reminder to me that this world is not our home...thank God! our circumstances, no matter what they are, are temporary...and that was something i needed to learn in order to continue to live with HOPE!
my hope is found in nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. this is the Person and thing in which my expectations are centered. because of this, i look forward to heaven and have confidence in His faithfulness. i believe...i trust in His ways, His plan, His direction and His will for me.
so don't get caught up in your negative circumstances...there's usually something invisible happening. what is your hope? hold on to it...and remember, if you know Jesus, this world is not your home.
Feeling like a refugee Like it don't belong to me The colors flash across the sky
This air feels strange to me Feeling like a tragedy Take a deep breath and close my eyes One last time
Storms on the wasteland Dark clouds on the plains again We were born into the fight
But I'm not sentimental This skin and bones is a rental
And no one makes it out alive
Until I die I'll sing these songs On the shores of Babylon Still looking for a home In a world where I belong
Where the weak are finally strong Where the righteous right the wrongs Still looking for a home In a world where I belong
Feels like we're just waiting, waiting While our hearts are just breaking, breaking Feels like we're fighting against the tide
I wanna see the earth shaking I wanna see a generation Finally waking up inside
Until I die I'll sing these songs On the shores of Babylon Still looking for a home In a world where I belong
Where the weak are finally strong Where the righteous right the wrongs Still looking for a home In a world where I belong
In a world where I belong
This body's not my own This world is not my own But I can still hear the sound Of my heart beating out So let's go boys, play it loud
On the final day I die I want to hold my head up high I want to tell you that I tried To live it like a song
And when I reach the other side I want to look you in the eye And know that I've arrived In a world where I belong Where I belong
I still believe we can live forever You and I we begin forever now Forever now Forever I still believe in us together You and I we're here together now Together now Together now Forever now Forever now
This is an awesome insight!
