Time

Today I was listening to the song Abracadavers by The Classic Crime. It's a great song, but I never really read that deep into it. But today, two of the lines really stuck out to me. "It seems we're beautifully made and designed. But it's a shame we can be so blind." This is very true. We are beautifully made, but how many of us forget that on a regular basis? We live in a world that always tells us no. We are not beautiful. You will never succeed. It can get really frustrating sometimes. We are blinded by our imperfections and that's all we see. The things we aren't. The things we can't do. I have met people that have almost nothing, yet they have joy in their lives. It's because they remember this: They are beautiful. They are loved. They have hope in something bigger. In the words of Bradley Hathaway, "If hope were not so, I would not choose to live." I have that hope. I need it. We all need it. The next time I start to get the wool of life pulled over my eyes, I'll think of how beautiful God has made me. And I will see clearly again.
