S.O.S. [Choices]

Red lights burning in the sky tonight
Oh God, save our souls..
We're speeding but not getting anywhere
racing to be where we don't want to be
facing the wrong direction without seeing rescue on its way

Treasure turns to dust upon our touch
We're mocked by a world that won't let us hold it
Yet we try so hard

Father change us, break us, save us from the death that threatens to take us..
Father move us, consume us, and help us find the beauty that's in brokenness

Inside the window of our hearts
see a battle ensues
color against black and white

Fire rages
Smoke fills an already gray starless sky
love becomes just a word again

we've been standing on a crumbling bridge
save us from sinking

Red lights burning in the sky tonight
Oh God, save our souls
...
I will take heart
For I know hope is coming to take us

HI guys!!!!!! so I've been thinking about choices lately. To be able to make a choice is to have the right; the power or opportunity to choose. Choices are based off of wants, or desires. If your making a choice every moment your alive, it would probably be in your best interest to make choices that would ultimately be beneficial. I was driving with my dad and brother to Jersey last week and I noticed those factory towers and stuff on the side..and I saw the red lights at the top of each tower and thought of all the uses of red lights..since i had nothing better to do..red lights are usually used to catch attention, sometimes for help, sometimes to guide, etc. so I thought, hmmm in the world we live in, people are blind to these red lights that illuminate the sky..the issues that are calling for attention..like sirens in the night, these unresolved problems that go ignored because men are too afraid of getting uncomfortable, too afraid of something that could change them completely. Each individual has freedom of choice; one is affected by the consequences of their choices. You have a choice to live, a choice to love, to be faithful, or not..you have a choice to change. There's always room to become better, there's always something that needs to improve. I've been learning that as I've been struggling to get out of that cycle of fruitlessness. On a different note, I know that I haven't understood what love is. Every time I failed, I expected God to be disappointed; I thought I could gain his affirmation through what I did well. I've learned that When you make the decision to change, Jesus will not turn His face from you, but instead ask you to reaffirm your love for Him.

John 21:15
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

"Do you love me enough to make the choice to follow me?"
or are you going to return to a life where you were alone, desolate, broken, and tired of yourself?
Choose life. Choose love. Choose battle.
