Untitled. Just read =)

I got the new Hillsong This is Our God album and I instantly fell in love with two songs from it, Desert Song and Healer. Occasionally, I would go online to look for lyrics of songs I like. I didn't manage to find them, probably because the album's not even out yet and I own the pirated copy.. ahah! But anyway, as I was doing this I checked out their links in youtube.com, and boy did it blow my mind away.

The first thing that came to my mind was, how cool it is that God doesn't say only the better off in life-never emo type can go to the front line for Him. Jill McCloghry sang together with Brooke Fraser for the Desert Song, and just hearing her testimony almost put me to tears. It made me realize that there are so many people around me that say they don't want to do this and that for God simply because they're not good enough. In fact, that used to be me not too long ago. She is an anointed worship leader, sings Christian albums, that whole package, and through that season of loss in her life, she had also felt that emptiness and numbness that any one of us would have felt. And yet she chose to overcome that and stand in the front line to glorify the God that let all that happen to make her realize that HE IS GOD.





And then there's Mike Guglielmucci, a great testimony on its own. Singing up there with all these medical stuff hanging off him and actually not being allowed to stand up in case his ribs break, which have apparently happened a few times already. He keeps going up there declaring God.





They're not much different than you and I, but this is the life they chose. They chose to live a life that glorified God no matter how hard their trials or pains were.

God didn't need us to make Him great, but He made us anyway.
And that alone is our reason to live.
