{{Beautiful Things}}
Right now my favorite song is "Beautiful Things" by Gungor. It goes like this-
All this pain
I wonder if I'll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all
(Chorus)
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You
(Chorus)
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
After that the chorus repeats itself and then there comes a part where a girl sings "You make me new" over and over while the main signer keeps singing the chorus. It's GREAT!! Ya'll should take a listen =)
This is my favorite song because every time I hear it, I can't help but think about how great God is. He has made everything special and beautiful(Ecclesiastes 3:11)! That includes me and you! It is such a great reminder of God's love because He still loves us even though we sin over and over. He makes us new. Even when we turn our backs on Him He still loves us and He see's us as beautiful!
The first verse is really great because it talks about pain and finding our way. The only One that can relieve the pain in our hearts is God. Nothing else can take the pain away for good. We might find pleasure in the things of the world or comfort in friends, but God is the Ultimate Friend and He is the Comforter. God will show us the way if we simply ask Him to guide us.
So whenever you are feeling down about life, or you just aren't feeling beautiful, I encourage you to run to God, pray, read His Word, and listen to this song.
Ecclesiastes 3:11-He hath made every thing beautiful in His time:
James 1:17-Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow or turning.
God is GREAT! God is GOOD!
