You Are More, Take Two

Okay, so the last post I had went very off topic. I was trying to write about what the song "You Are More" by Tenth Avenue North.

The reason that I want to write about this song is that it has continued to speak worlds to how I have been trying to think about life. The chorus of the song goes:
"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."

I really like how this song really speaks about how in the eyes of God, we are more than all of the bad things that we may have done. He sees us as greater beings than even His own creation. Christ thinks so highly of us, that He doesn't even care that we constantly fall short. He still loves us all the same.

On a side note, and hopefully I won't get to into this that I forget again. I was in the library, watching channel one before I went to second period, and there was a story on this soldier who was killed in battle, but was still hated by many people who claim to be Christians, just because he was gay. They held up signs that said things like "God hates you" and "You are going to Hell". This is not the way were are to think of people. The bible says "Love your neighbor as yourself." Just because this man was gay, does not make him any less than us. We've fallen short just as much as he has. While yes, in the Bible it does say in a nutshell that you should not be gay, it does not mean that God hates the people who are. We should love them the same way that we love the people who are not gay.

Anyway, Christ sees us all, no matter what we have done in such a way that I don't think that no matter how many times we could read the Bible, that we still would not fully understand. He chose us before the beginning of time. We can never fully understand how much He really loves us. I can't thank Him enough for this love.

In a nutshell, we are more than the poor choices, we are more than all of the mistakes we've ever made in our lives, and we are more than any problem that comes up in our lives, lets just give it to God, and live by faith. Our lives are in His hands.

That's it for now/

I love you guys
