Recently, I've been thinking about how, in my weakness, in my pain, I turn to the world to fufill what only God can give me.
Jack Johnson sang:
Shadow walks faster than you
You don't really know what to do
Do you think that you're not alone?
You really think that you are immune to
Its gonna get that the best of you
Its gonna lift you up and let you down
It will defeat you then teach you to get back up
After it takes all that
You learn to love
Your reflection is a blur
Out of focus
But in confusion
The frames are suddenly burnt
And in the end of a roll of illusion
A ghost waiting its turn
Now I can see right through
It's a warning that nobody heard
It will teach you to love what you're afraid of
After it takes away all that
You learn to love
But you don't
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart
You better hope you're not alone...
You better be hoping you're not so...
Du du rut
Hope you're not alone
Hmm hmm humm
Isn't the hope of the world such a hollow hope? They have no way to truly know whether the light will come, and there is guarantee of an end to the pain. I am so thankful I don't have to live that way!
I have a hope, and it is my Savior!
For I hope in You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God."
Psalm 38:15
With love,
Marilla
Yup, it really is a hollow hope that the world has. It's a good thing God is so patient with us!
