Chosen

Keep me safe
its hard to follow the right path when they all look so similar
its hard to discern whats safe, whats dangerous
Sometimes you don't know fire is dangerous until it burns you....

The whole world seems to be against me
Even I am against me.
Theres something wrong with you if you don't drink
Theres something wrong with you if you don't gamble
Theres something wrong with you if you don't bend the rules a little.
Theres something wrong with you if you feel guilty about doing any of the above.

Sometimes I wonder if really just bending the rules a little bit would hurt.
Everybody else is doing it. They seem to be having fun.....

Whats the point in living such a "pure" life and not enjoying it?
Hard questions to ask. Hard to find answers.

Leviticus 20:26
You are to be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.

Satisfaction.

It's not that I don't want to, It's not that it doesn't feel good.
Its just that I've seen something MORE
I've seen a life thats not bound to .....
A life thats not bound to unspoken rules
A life thats ......FREE
A life that has SOMETHING that I can't explain but it seems amazing!
Its the thing that I know that I've been missing and that I desperately cry out for.

Do you get what I'm saying? Maybe you don't. Maybe you get it a little
Maybe what I'm saying just seems completely insane to you.

its also the fact that it doesn't last. Its temporary. It isn't the answer, its a mask
an aspirin, but the question is still there.
ALONE it comes back QUICKLY tune it out listen to music, watch T.V.| DON'T think abut IT|
Why are we so afraid of it? Why are we scared of silence?
look deep, deeper.... let go

Its like this:
I found something better.
and well its almost impossible for me to show you because what I've found is invisible.
Its indescribable but if i tried to explain it to you, you would thing I'm crazy
I really just want you to SEE it but I can't do that.....

What I can do is show you how this "thing" has changed my life.
Changed it soo much that I don't want to live like everyone else.
Its like I don't really belong anymore.

its not a bad thing
Its the best thing thats ever happened to me

2 Corinthians 5:20
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
