My everything

~Monday Movies & Music~


Owl City has a song named, "My Everything." Here are the lyrics

"casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 (ESV)



"I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
    and I will glorify your name forever." Psalm 86:12 (ESV)

Can you run to God when everything seems bad? Can you praise Him no matter what?

  1. At times it feels like no one will accept you or love you and it hurts so much, but there's always a little whisper in you ear that's telling you to hold you head up. I know God's not only my savior, but a friend. I remember once I was reading the verse that said that there is no greater love than to give your life for a friend, and he told me that he gave his life for me. He said that he was my friend. Not only is he the king of the universe and everything every created, but he's my friend. I think, "Why would he die for me? How can I praise him though all this shame?"----He always causes song to come on on the radio or me to see or hear something that tells me that he'll forgive me and take me no matter what. I know a lot of times, we are afraid to bow before him because we're afraid that he hates us after what we've done, or that his love doesn't include us, but really he's smiling and holding out his hand fro us to take. He'll pull us up no matter how low we are. No matter how shameful. No matter how broken down.
    Christianity is the only faith that doesn't exclude. It's welcoming everyone. No matter if you're a serial killer or a ball of hate. God extends his hand and he hold is out always. He never takes it back. I love that about God. He's my father and my friend. He's my comforter, my savior, my healer. I love
    him, and I know he loves me back no matter what I do. He smiles upon me; lovely. <3
    God bless!

    1. You're right! It's so amazingly comforting that God will love us through all the shameful moments, through all the mistakes and outright intentional sins. That He will never back out on His promise to love us forever.

    2. The love you feel when you speak out his name is the most amazing feeling. It's so...real. <3
      It's amazing how he never lies or breaks his promises. How he's true forever. So faithful. I love him so much. It's so hard to even look into his eyes after we've been so sinful. He always smiles and lifts our heads for us. He kisses us and tells us it's not over. He still loves us. :)
      You're so right. :) God's smiling on you. I can feel it. he loves you, Sofia. <3 Let him hold you. You'll never be the same.
