overlooked.

There are so many amazing things and songs and verses that we look over. This has been on my heart recently. i think of the song Amazing Grace -  a song everyone knows, right? but does everyone REALLY know that song? people sing it with their mouths, but they don't sing it with their lives and with their hearts. and that's what that song is supposed to be for. there is so much overlooked power in those lyrics. "my chains are gone, I've been set free.." Yes we have been set free. COMPLETELY SET FREE. we are not held back by the pain and suffering and mistakes of our past.. instead we have this view of the future and we have this life and this light that is just so amazing that our old lives seem so irrelevant and awful to us now. that's what those "cliche" and "well known" lyrics are actually saying. and if that much can come from those eight words, think just how much can be discovered through the rest of the lyrics! I challenge everyone who is reading this to look up the lyrics to Amazing Grace right now and decipher the lyrics with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. your world will be turned upside down just like mine was! pray that The Lord would show you His mercy and meaning through simple things like a song or a strong breeze or a smile of a stranger. little things have so much meaning.

have an amazing night, brothers and sisters.
