Soundtrack

A week or so ago the skies were gray and the rain was coming down, putting a dreary mood on the whole day. That morning I received a text from a good friend talking about how this song made it all a little better for her.

"Do you ever have a hard day and then listen to a song and all is a bit better? Flawless by MercyMe is my song today.

No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the scars
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless

When I texted her back I told her that my song for the morning that had cheered me up and helped with my day was Just Be Held by Casting Crowns.

Hold it all together
Everybody needs you strong
But life hits you out of nowhere
And barely leaves you holding on

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held

Like my friend said, sometimes a song can change your whole perspective on a day. Whether it's the reminder from MercyMe that the Cross has made you flawless or a message from Casting Crowns to focus on Jesus because He is in control. Maybe it's a note of encouragement you need or the first prompting to forgive or reach out. Maybe it's not a song at all. Maybe it's a verse, or a book, or even a rainbow that reminds you of God's promises. God speaks to us in so many different way through so many different sources. We just have to be willing to listen.

Whatever it is and whatever source it comes from find your soundtrack and let God speak to you through it today.
