Don't You Know Who You Are?

I would just like to share these lyrics of "You Are More" by Tenth Avenue North.

They are beautiful and so true. So just read them and know that God is telling you that YOU ARE MORE! You will never be too far away from God or too far gone into the traps of this sinful world. He loves you no matter what. God knows you are more than your past. You are His treasure.

There's a girl in the corner

With tear stains on her eyes

From the places she's wandered

And the shame she can't hide

She says, "How did I get here?

I'm not who I once was.

And I'm crippled by the fear

That I've fallen too far to love"

But don't you know who you are,

What's been done for you?

Yeah don't you know who you are?

You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.

Well she tries to believe it

That she's been given new life

But she can't shake the feeling

That it's not true tonight

She knows all the answers

And she's rehearsed all the lines

And so she'll try to do better

But then she's too weak to try

But don't you know who you are?

You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.

You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.

'Cause this is not about what you've done,

But what's been done for you.

This is not about where you've been,

But where your brokenness brings you to

This is not about what you feel,

But what He felt to forgive you,

And what He felt to make you loved.

You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.

You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.

You've been remade

You've been remade.

You've been remade.

You've been remade.

Follow God, Every Little Thing Will Be Alright.

Where shall I begin? I will start by saying that everyday I become more amazed by how blessed I am with truly amazing family and friends. God was really looking out for me when he chose to give me the life that I have. Sometimes the questions, "Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life here on earth?", go through my head. They actually frequent my thoughts. I know that I am here for a higher purpose. That purpose is to live my life as close to Jesus Christ's life as well as I can. And to teach people about God's amazing grace. I am human, so by no means am I a perfect person. I try to live a Christian life, but I fail at being Christ like often. Then I immediately feel like I've let God down and that He has to be mad at me. That I've used up the last of my second chances. Then God lets me know that I am so very wrong when I think these thoughts. God is never mad at me. He loves me and is waiting for me to move over to ride shotgun while he takes over the drivers seat. It's hard sometimes to realize that reality. But when you do face that truth, life becomes so easy. Just hand over your problems to Him. It's sounds too good to be true. Too simple, because we make our lives so difficult and full of drama. We need to simplify our lives and focus on why we are here. We are here by God's saving grace and no other reason. Keep this in the forefront of your mind and stay strong in faith. Embrace God's love and know that the Holy Spirit dwells in you. I pray that everyone accepts God's love and that you know that He loves you even if you're not willing to accept it or believe it. I pray that you let Him drench you in His love each and every single day and that you may be peaceful and content in His presence. I pray that everyone will experience His presence and have enough faith to allow it to consume them. It breaks my heart that some people will not open their hearts and have enough faith to experience it. Once you do, you will never be the same. For there is nothing else like standing in God's presence and feeling the love of God. He will take away your sorrows, worries, grieves, temptations, and any problem that you may have. It's simple. All you have to do is ask and believe. He wants to heal you, so let Him. And remember when you feel alone and have no one else to turn to, He is always there. Call on Him. I have many times and every time I call out His name, His everlasting love and peace falls out on me. I love you and God loves you even more.

You may think that it's complicated or hard to talk to God. This verse tells you very simply that it is definitely not hard at all.

In Him and through Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
