I can't even tell you how many times I've been wallowing in self-pity and thought to myself, I have nobody. I always come up second best and I'm tired of it. I really don't have a best friend...but oh yeah, I have God.
So basically, I tack Him on at the last minute, as a last resort at making myself feel better about the world.
But last night, as I was listening to the song "Grace Found Me" by Rush of Fools, I realized that I had it exactly the opposite of what it should be.
The lyrics are-
I get that things have changed
Yet I still feel the same
But I'm not alone
'cause Your grace found me
I thought I wasn't breathing
My heart now sings
'cause You chased for me
I never saw it coming but my eyes now see
Your grace found me
If You had given me up
I would have nothing left at all
Nothing to give of myself
No one to take my place
But You came along
"If You had given me up I would have nothing left at all". Those lyrics really just show how backwards my thinking was. I could have the world at my feet, hundreds of friends there to listen to me and talk to me 24/7, but if I didn't have God's grace, I would be nothing. Absolutely nothing. So the appropriate thing to be thinking is really "I have God's grace, that's really all I need, and oh yeah, He's blessed me with friends too!"
Oh, and for the record, I do have absolutely wonderful friends. I just get stuck in that woeful mood sometimes.
