Heard a song today. The words went something like this:
"Its all right, I'm ok / I kinda like doing things this way."
"And the life that God gives / is the only life that I was meant to live."
The song was by John Reuben, a Rap/Rock crossover artist. The song had a kind of mellow, hip-hop groove. I had heard it before but it struck me today as being very soothing. I realized just how much I wish to live a different life than God gives. If He's really God and He really loves me, then the only smart thing to do is take life as it comes and see God in everything. I always catch myself wishing I could be different, act different, or do different things. When I see my life now I am dissatisfied. When I look ahead I get scared. But... Every time I look back I see only His mercy and guidance. He has brought me through an incredible journey and has never let me down. Why is it so hard to "live the life I was meant to live." For 3 1/2 minutes of song today, I saw again the hope in it and surrendered a bit more. Thanks John. You rock!
-Robert
