Will you be there?

As I had my music on shuffle tonight, the song Will You Be There by Skillet, came on (hit up the lyrics by clicking here), and it just brought me to almost tears. I imagined people just crying out, asking for someone to be there. Everyone has had the one person in their life they thought would always be there, and some of us have had times where we wonder if they'll always be there. It's a tough thought to think, and a tough thought to overcome. There are so many lost people, blaming God for their problems in this world. I put the song on repeat, and listened to it over, and over, and over. Every time the song finished, I found myself wanting to keep listening to it. It's a question we all have, and we need to realize that yes, God is always there. He has died on the cross so we might live. Literally hundreds of thousands are wandering this world lost and confused, not knowing what to do next. What most people don't realize is that God places desires and needs in our hearts, and He wants us to follow them. Many people think that Christians have to bow completely to God and while that is true, it's not that simple. It's not that simple, in a good way. God wants us to be happy, we're His favourite creation. He gave us the right to choose for a reason. He gave us passions for a reason. He gave us the most beautiful planet in the whole galaxy so that we can admire His work and live in it. I constantly find myself asking myself (in my head) whether or not people will be there for me in the future. I try to push these out by remembering that it doesn't matter. God will be there. God will provide. It's not just thoughts that help me sleep at night. They're truths. They're facts. We don't even need to ask God if He'll be there because HE WILL BE. It's not a question! Whenever we feel far away from God that's not His doing, it's our doing. It's something we're doing wrong. Many time in my life I have felt far from God. I don't blame Him. I might have at the time, but I can't now. In no way can I blame someone who is blameless.

On another note, I was looking through Owl City's blog (www.owlcityblog.com and he does a cover of the song In Christ Alone. For people who don't the song, just visit the link. He mentions how it brought him to tears just playing the song on the piano and he spent more time crying then actually recording it. Before reading the post, I listened to the song. It made me feel really upbeat and just... amazing inside. Again, it made me want to cry. 'For I am His, and He is mine' just hits me right in the chest every time. It's so amazing, and so true. I'll embed the song here for listening, because it just hits me in my heart every time and needs to be shared.
