Stronger...

So I still have yet to write about my job or anything that I do with my time....someday!  And yet again this is another post about a song...oh well!  I feel like God speaks to me through songs a lot of the time!  So...another post about a song it is!  

Today I was in the car running errands and the song "Stronger" by Hillsong comes on my ipod.  I have a lot of Hillsong on my ipod and have just added a lot more.  Well, I had never heard this song, and I think that I listened to the song about 6 times because the words are so powerful.  My favorite lines are these:

You are stronger.
You are stronger.
Sin is broken.
You have saved me.
It is written,
Christ is risen
Jesus You, are Lord of all

These are my favorite lines because I realize that in my life God is stronger than I make Him to be.  I doubt God all the time.  I don't trust God in every area of my life.  I don't treat others the way I should.  I could make a list about a mile long of things that I feel like I should be better at doing.  

The words in this song are so powerful because God is stronger and because of what Christ did on the cross, I don't have to be perfect and I know that in my failure's Christ is Stronger. 

There's No Such Thing as Perfect People...

There's no such thing as perfect people.

There's no such thing as a perfect life,

so come as you are, broken and scarred,

lift up your heart and be amazed, and be changed

by a Perfect God!

I heard this song on the radio yesterday, I had never heard it before (even though it is on my iPod, but I also have 734 other songs on there, so there's a good chance, I had never heard it) These past few weeks have been quite challenging for me.  There's not just one big thing in my life that's challenging, but lots of little things. So while in the car yesterday, this song really struck me....I have been trying in the past few weeks to be the "Perfect Person".  I know that I can't be...I want to be though!  I want to be the perfect Christian, the perfect nanny, the perfect daughter, the perfect sister, the perfect friend.... and the list goes on.  I have tried and failed.  I get so upset at myself when I fail, but this song reminded me,

I'm not perfect,

I don't have the perfect life, and will never,

but I do have, a Perfect God.   

And because of that, I can be changed, my life can be changed by that Perfect God.
