I can't place my finger on them, but I see them. I find myself wanting to get up and go to work, I find myself wanting to wash clothes and help. I find myself dealing with things I haven't dealt with before.
Tonight I was listening to one of my CDs I made in my car, and I came across this song. It had so much more meaning and real
In my own little world it hardly ever rains
I've never gone hungry and always felt safe
I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet
In my own little world
Population me
I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church
I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give 'til it hurts
and I turn off the news when I don't like what I see
it's easy to do when it's
population me
What if there's a bigger picture
what if I'm missing out
What if there's a greater purpose
I could be living right now
outside my own little world
Stopped at the red light, looked out my window
Outside the car, saw a sign, said "Help this homeless widow"
Just above this sign was the face of a human
I thought to myself, "God, what have I been doing?"
So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye
Oh how many times have I just passed her by
I gave her some money then I drove on through
In my own little world there's
Population two
What if there's a bigger picture
what if I'm missing out
What if there's a greater purpose
I could be living right now
outside my own little world
Start breaking my heart for what breaks Yours
give me open hands and open doors
put Your light in my eyes and let me see
that my own little world is not about me
I'm self-centered. I recognize this and accept it, and this song is reminding me that it's not about me, it's about the world we live in. The song was just a slap in the face. Thank God for the beauty of the cross. I was saved for HIS glory, and saved to bring GLORY to His name.
As I heard this weekend, "Thank God I don't get what I deserve."
Thankful for the cross, and the freedom I have in Christ.
Blessed,
