@[Kiibble4Lyfe:23407] God bless you, my friend :) I had forgotten about posting this, and as it turns out, I really needed this reminder today. Jesus is so faithful, even in my wanderings. Thanks again. I pray you never forget how loved you are. :) |

Hey friends :) Thank you all sharing your thoughts and, ultimately, bearing your souls to one another. That is beautiful, incredible strength, and you never know whose life you're impacting. Please don't ignore the this verse: "There are things we can do But from the things that work there are only two And from the two that we choose to do Peace will win and fear will lose It is faith and there's sleep We need to pick one please because Faith is to be awake And to be awake is for us to think And for us to think is to be alive And I will try with every rhyme To come across like I am dying To let you know you need to try to think" This is my favorite part of the whole song. - There are things we can do to fill our "silence." (Drugs, alcohol, self harm, etc. VS. productive things like art, serving people or animals, sports, practicing faith, etc.) -But ultimately, it all comes down to 2 options: fear vs. faith/peace, and the actions we choose demonstrate our choice between the 2. - Faith is to live and death is to sleep; many people choose death out of fear and despair. -(here's my favorite part) Fear loses when we have faith. (For me, that's faith in Christ, the ultimate hero over fear.) - Faith=to be awake To be awake=to think To think=to be alive - THE ARTIST'S MAIN POINT IS TO USE ALL HE HAS (every song, every word, every breath; to the point it feels like he's dying from pouring himself out so hard) TO REMIND YOU, YES YOU, FRIEND, TO KEEP ON LIVING. To not give in to fear, because it cannot win. You can be victorious. Please, for Twenty One Pilots and for me, NEVER GIVE UP. |

| @[Twentyoneclique:20958] And PLEASE don't let this realization keep you from leaning on their music. That's why they do what they do! To support, encourage and love their fans. "Car Radio" tells us that straight from them :) | |

| Can you share with me what gives you the sense we need to beg for God's forgiveness? (Are you aluding to The Judge or Doubt?) In this song above, with the way it's constructed, it appears they are trying to demonstrate life without Christ vs. life with Him. Without Him we are "evil to the core" because of our fallen condition (and that means all of us, friend, Christian and otherwise). On the otherside of the chorus, he flips it, because with Christ, we are redeemed and empowered to live life out of love, service and triumph because Christ gives those to us. We don't have to "repeat yesterday's dance" because, in Christ, our past, failures and sins are obliterated :) And no, you do not have to beg Him. It's simply ( it can be hard) acknowledgement of our sins, acknowledging He gave Himself to take our place in the sight of God (allowing us to stand in His righteousness not our unrighteousness), and asking Him to be our Lord, leading us away from sin and into His presence. It's a daily struggle, but Christ is faithful and loves you (that's the whole reason He came). Twenty One Pilots is saying here that they've been where you are and are reminding you life is so, so worth it. And that ultimately, you are loved. :) | |

| @[Twentyoneclique:20957] @[Twentyoneclique:20957] Hey friend :) I'm so glad you reached out. I'm a new fan of theirs myself, but they are incredible. I've had the Blurryface album on repeat for like a week. And their Christian touches are some of (for me) what makes them so beautiful and deep. (Of course, they have a sound, style and sense of humor that you can't beat either | |
