You're Gold

Hey guys! Me again. I had this thought in the middle of the night whilst listing to a song called Gold. I was listening to the lyrics and was thinking about what they meant to me. How they applied to me and I came up with this so I hope you take something out of this. (Also i'm listing to the song while writing this. You might say I'm addicted) 


Lyrics to : Gold 

There's something there and it's showing
There's no need to look around
You're the best we got going

Shout out to the dreams you'll chase
Shout out to the hearts you'll break
Nothing's gonna stop you now
I guess you better be going

You'll never be far, I'm keeping you near
Inside of my heart, you're here
Go on, it's gotta be time
You're starting to shine

'Cause what you got is
Gold, I know, you're gold
Oh, I know, I know
I don't need the stars in the night, I found my treasure
All I need is you by my side, so shine forever
Gold, I know, you're gold
Oh, I know, you're gold

It won't take you long to get when you feel like you're soaring
So write it all and don't forget, you gotta tell us your story

Shout out to the friends back home
Shout out to the hearts you've known
You gave them nothing but the best, yeah
And you can tell them your story

You'll never be far, I'm keeping you near
Inside of my heart, you're here
Go on, it's gotta be time
You're starting to shine

'Cause what you got is
Gold, I know, you're gold
Oh, I know, I know
I don't need the stars in the night, I found my treasure
All I need is you by my side, so shine forever
Gold, I know, you're gold
Oh, I know, you're gold

'Cause what you got is
Gold, I know, you're gold
Oh, I know, I know
I don't need the stars in the night, I found my treasure
All I need is you by my side, so shine forever
Gold, I know, you're gold
Oh, I know, you're gold

You're gold
You're gold!

Y'all all know how most Christian songs are either supposed to be us speaking to God or God speaking to us? I think this song is supposed to be God speaking to us. It's telling us that God thinks we are Gold. That we are worth so 

much to Him. I've know a few people who self-harmed, were suicidal or depressed. Most of those people did that or were that way because they felt like they weren't enough for themselves, their family or God. This song is telling us that we are Gods treasure, we are special to Him, and that we are so much more important than any of His other creations.  We are brighter than the stars! It also says that we need to tell our story. That means we are meant to tell our story to others. Wether the story be happy or sad! Tell people what God has done in your life or what He is doing!  Another line says "You'll never be far I'm keeping you near" I think that means Gods not going to leave us to face the trials of the world alone. He's going to help us and keep us even when we feel alone! 

So, that's my midnight thought! I hope you took something out of that. If not just enjoy the song! Have a blessed day!

Friendship

Hello Friends! 

We don't often realize how important friends can be to us. When I was younger (6-11ish) I made a friend everywhere I went. When I got into middle school I felt very alone after what I thought was a good friend totally abandoned me. My  interests were VERY different than that of my peers. No one wanted to be friends with me. So I thought "I don't need friends. I can be alone and its ok." Boy was I wrong. Friends, godly friends, are SO important! We were not meant to be alone. I had this realization about three years ago when, one I joined and online community of godly girls that built me up and loved me. Second was a song by "Brandon Heath". One of the lyrics was "It's no good to be alone". That really hit me hard. I still struggle with making friends and putting trust in people. I would say I don't have a friend that I absolute trust completely with every thing but I'm getting there with Gods help. Just know this, friends are super important and we were made for godly community! Have a blessed day!
