Where Truth is found

I am continually amazed at the various ways the Lord chooses to speak to us. From the smell of a magnolia tree to brighten my day and let me know that God is still in control, to a word of a friend, to even a secular song that comes up when my iPod is on shuffle during my morning walk. The very fact that God desires to be in contact with His people shows, in one way, the very depth of His mercy and grace. He could remain aloof, sitting safely on His throne, uninterested in the lives of His creation. (Thank God the Deists are still wrong on this one.) Or we could be puppets, ants that he fries with his magnifying glass at his leisure. (Thank God He gave us this free will.) He chooses us, and through Christ brings us near to Himself. So, today, read these lyrics by the band Audioslave. Maybe God will speak to you through them like he did me. He is still in control, though I have fallen and run away. That is what matters.

"Nothing Left To Say But Goodbye"

Just like a rescue of a stray dog in the rain I was

Hungry when you found me

And you could tell by my tail and my rib cage what was

Once around me

I've been chased by a rain cloud

I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around

But now I'm found and I won't run away

Bless your heart you gave me a home and a new start

And I will leave you never

Sleep at your feet and stay guard at your front door

I will keep things together

I've been chased by a rain cloud

I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around

But now I'm found and I won't run away

I killed myself, threw away my mental health but nobody was blinking an eye

Backyard, basement, falling on the pavement

Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye

Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye

It's true I ran away before but be sure

I am no tail-chaser

I know a good thing when it throws me a bone

I'm your best friend forever

I've been chased by a rain cloud

I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around

But now I'm found and I won't run away
