Song Share Sunday #7: "Unfixable"

This Sunday, I share with you an old song. It may be new to you, but it's old to me, which makes it that much better. :)

This song is from the "Chapter 35" EP, and if you haven't heard it yet, head on over here to get for free! Without money and without cost, it is my gift to you!

This song is especially precious to me because it came in a time of desperate pleas and painful cries for God to fix the things that were broken in my life, many of which I had my own hand in messing up. The beautiful thing about the valleys in relationships is that it shows me how much I need Jesus and allows me to tell God through lyrics and a gentle picking of my guitar.

That part of my life was getting increasingly stressful and frustrating, and the one thing I kept asking God was, "Why would you keep putting me in these situations? What's the point?" Ties were breaking here and there, and we were setting bridges on fire. All I could do was to sit and watch as this relationship ate me up from the inside out. Fixing was beyond my reach. Healing was out of my sight. And all I wanted was for my Father to come in and clean up my mess.

Growing up in a fellowship and discipled for a growing spirit, I've stored three truths inside my heart. The first is that God is always good. My doubts and fears would never change that. The second is that God has His own way. The cliched saying that everything happens for a reason holds true to me, because my good God was a purpose for everything that happens in my life. The last is that God will always love me. My sins and iniquities would never change that.

These three truths are where the core of this song comes from. Even though I could not fix my life, and it felt as if nothing would ever get better and that it will only go in the opposite direction as long as I breathed, I knew that my God is bigger than all of that. My God is bigger than my fears and pains. That's because this is His world, not mine. And I am His child, not my own person.

I pray that this song will encourage you to always know and believe and God will never forsake you and leave you in pieces. We may fall, and we may stumble, but God will pick us up and heal us, even if He has to drag us, kicking and screaming, out from the sorry mess we call OUR life. And He will show us a better light.

He gives. He takes away. But blessed be His glorious name.

"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." -Heb.13.5

Amen.

Peace, love, and the bitter melon that Kevin loves,
