Underwater

"Life is so short. Everyone is running out of time. Who can be trusted? We are all so human and fail each other so often. Every new day we face the same old problems; every new day hits us just the same. The girl in Underwater faces the dilemma of modern humanity. There's nothing to be in a world where nothing really matters. And besides she's tried so hard plenty of times. Without Christ as our foundation, we are thrown by waves of despair, swimming in a sea of hopelessness. She climbs down into the bottle, looking to drown her desperation in alcohol. She hides from the reality of life underwater, where she can forget about her burning needs. Underwater is a place to hide from the world. As Christians, we seek to be found in Christ, living in his love and truth. Sometimes however, we find ourselves seeking our fulfillment elsewhere: in relationship, in our jobs or even in acting out religion. Apart from Christ's foundation, we are living in fake reality, lukewarm and directionless, upside down, underwater." -Jon Foreman
