The song Hold My Heart by Tenth Avenue North is resting heavy on my heart right now. As to why that is, if I knew, I would gladly tell you. I only have a few guesses, but it really shows me how small I am with the chorus going
One tear in the dropping rain.
Once voice in a sea of pain.
One light, that's all I am
Those lines really show me how small I am in comparison to God. It goes for all of us, and it also shows us that we can easily be washed away with the things of this world. It's so easy for us to get caught up in things like sports, money, girls or guys, school, and just all these other bad distractions that take away from who God really is. The dropping rain to me is the world who doesn't have Christ. It's like a rainstorm and if you've ever cried in the rain, you can't ever tell. You're already soaking wet, and you can't differentiate between a teardrop and a raindrop. I think it really portrays how small we seem.
The flip side of this is it also shows how much God loves us. To me, it seems like God knows which drops are your tears. He can tell them, and He catches each tear that falls. With the voice in a sea of pain, to me it seems as if the sea again is the world. They cry out if some thing temporary gets taken from them, and when we are going through trials of any kind, we cry out to God. It shows me that we can think "There's no way God hears MY voice over all of these people!" God does hear your cries though. God does hear the sound of our breaking hearts. Each of them has a distinct ring is His ears. It's like a music teacher who can guess the pitch of a note just by listening to it. Each of our broken hearts distinctly rings in God's ears. God's heart breaks not only when we sin too. His heart breaks with ours. He hates it when we're in pain
When God feels you in pain, He not only hears the sound of your breaking heart, but He will also come close to you and hold you heart. Fix it and put it back into is new form. How amazing is God's great love! Not only will He heal your heart, but He will make it stronger. With trials come perseverance.
One tear in the dropping rain
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breaking heart?
One light, that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If you're everything you say you are
Would you, come close and hold my heart?
While this song has definitely told me how small I am, and that there's no way that I can go through this life on my own, it has also shown me God's amazing, steadfast love for us. God holds you in high regard, and He will never leave you.
I hope this helps you out. You're all beautiful creations.
I love you
TJ
