| The Fray – You Found Me Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| To blame god for what the world's become is ridiculous,he gave us a choice,he gave us freedom,and what we chose to do with it,wasn't his fault.People die,people lie,people kill and steal.Did god tell them to do so,did he command them to do so?No.He gave them freedom,he gave them love.Christ not only died for the sins we've done,but he was crucified,for the sins we did make,the ones we are making,and the ones we will make in the future.We are not perfect.We are not obligated by god to belive in him.Times are hard,but when worry sets in,i suggest you go to the god in prayer to make things clear.I don't belive you should force religion upon someone because if god didn't force those who don't belive,then why would we.We are led to be humble about it,to show people the way we love god.Not to embark it on them.To force them to love him,because then it isn't real.I am christian,and yes I want everyone to love god like I do,but I won't force it upon them.You ask and wonder why the world is so cruel,why people do these things,why god doesn't stop this.It's all to let us grow.To love,to be your own person.But god wasn't the one who took a little girl and killed her,he wasnt the one who robbed a bank and took citizens hostage,he wasn't the one who filled this earth with trash and pollution.Us humans did so,and yet he forgives and loves us anyway.There will come a day,you will need him more than anything and he will be there for you like always,its your choice whether to reach out to him or not.There's a book I read called the Shack.(a spoiler,sorry)A man is slipping with his love for god after his little girl has been kidnapped and murdered.they find shes been murdered in a shack,but can't find her body.Three years later,this man recieves a note saying to meet him at the shack and it is signed papa.A name his wife calls god.And you'd have to be close to know so.He only tells his friend willie where he's going,he appears and see's the bloodstain and no god.He shouts at the lord and leaves the shack.As he leaves,magnificent things happen.The shack is now a cabin,and winter has changed to spring,there he meets god.God appears as three people.A light flowing woman(the holy spirit)A big african american woman(god)and a non-humanly striking man(jesus)he is taught many things,and grows to trust god and jesus.He gets to see his daughter,but does not meet her,he sees her through a wall were he can see her but not touch her and she cant see him,but she knows he's there.She asked for it to be like this.God walks with this man and asks him to forgive the man who has killed his little girl.They have a long emotional talk and he forgives him.God then guides the man to her body,they return with her and have a funeral in this place,she is laid in a cascet carved by jesus himself,ingraved with all her life meomories,that she designed herself.She is buried in the mans garden which is described as his soul.He returns to normal,happy and relieved.He follows the red marks that god showed him when he found the girls body and he really finds her and gives her a proper burial.He then tells the police and they follow other red marks and find the other girls.During this trip he is angry with god because he didnt stop the killer,but he learns that he gives us choices and that he cant hold that on god.He loves god free-willingly and he lives life happily.It helps you understand that its not easy for god to judge someone he loves,his child.It's like telling a parent to pick two to got to hell and 3 in heaven,but he would like to go in there place.And it represents how jesus went in our place.This happens in the book and the man sees the way. | |
