You Have Me

You Have Me - Gungor


Out on the farthest edge
There in the silence
You were there

My faith was torn to shreds
Heart in the balance
And You were there

Always faithful, always good
You still have me
You still have my heart

I thought I had seen the end
Everything broken
But You were there

I've wandered at heaven's gates
I've made my bed in hell
You were there still

Always faithful, always good
You still have me
You still have my heart

You have me, You have me
You have my heart completely
You have me, You have me
You have my heart completely


Another thing I have noticed about myself is that I try to change myself or do things to fit the needs (or what I think are the needs) of others. I see that someone feels a certain way, and it makes me want to do something about it to change how they feel. For example, if I see that someone looks lonely or feels left out, I feel like I should approach that person and keep them company. This may seem like a good thing in the beginning because they're not lonely anymore, but then it makes me question myself - why? Do I just want to make myself feel like a good person? If I don't really care about this person, wouldn't the way I conduct myself when talking and interacting them show that I'm not there 100%? Wouldn't that person feel more hurt that someone else saw that they were lonely and felt "pity" for them? How embarrassing is that? I wouldn't want someone to talk to me because they thought I looked lonely, or because they thought that I had no friends.

I need to reevaluate why I do things. I shouldn't do things just because I feel like that person needs it, I shouldn't try to fill in all the cracks in other people's lives. What I should be doing, is changing myself to fit the needs of the lost people who don't know Jesus and be the light that I am called to be in this world of darkness. I need not worry about how I can make someone else feel better. I need to worry about how I can become the person that God had intended for me to be, and be someone that can bring others to know God. Only then will I be able to help other people without making it worse. If I want to help and not harm, I need to learn how to be a helper and know where my focus should really be at.


I read Acts 13 and 14 today!
