“Don’t be afraid, Ive redeemed you.I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end— Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you: all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in! That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you! I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you. Isaiah 43:2-4 I was doing dishes and listening to The Afters when I came across my favorite song on their new album. I was sorta of having a blah day. You know the days when you just want to go back to bed. We all want that one thing, that one guy or girl who doesnt return our affection. Or that material thing that we cant have.( So I encourage all my single friends to write letters of encouragement, or do something to further the kingdom of God this Christmas.) We all want someone to sweep us off our feet & tell us, you look fine. But in Gods eyes were more than complete, were perfect and beautiful. Youre a beautiful masterpiece created in His eyes. You are a beautiful, hot mess but thats enough. I realized in my singleness Id forgotten that. Tis no shame to be single. As a former pastor of mine said, Being single is a blessing, a curse and a time to grow. Pastor Steven Furtick. Yeah, Id like a boyfriend, dont get me wrong. But for now, Ive got to be content with were I am. I am happy to be single. Why? In my eyes, youre more than complete.Youre perfect to me, if you could only see the way that you shine. In my eyes, if theres one thing thats true, its that I believe in you.You make the world look so bright and put a smile in my eyes. Thank you Josh and the band for writing these profound lyrics. Have a blessed Christmas season guys and to all good night https://youtube/watch?v=FHGacL8Grxk
