“Every closed door, every single sharp thorn
Every answer that didn’t make sense
What if maybe
They were just teaching me to depend on?
Your strength in the dark days
All my tears got me crying out to You again
What if maybe
Every broken place I’ve been was a godsend?
Hey y’all, & welcome to my blog, “LifeWithLiv” today, I will be discussing my thoughts about how this song impacted my life.
When I heard this song for the first time, I sort of judged & thought to myself “it’s too slow”
Boy, was I wrong! It’s got the best beats and vocals !! WOWZA.
At the beginning she says, “I had added it up
I had made all my plans
But the road I had paved turned into dust
And I just didn’t understand” I felt that.
The last few years, I have struggled with thinking if my life is even worth anything & if I will ever get a job or succeed somehow in life. I really struggled with that thought, that I couldn’t even trust God! And I remember even putting my whole dependence into this “desperate mindset” of my mind. It wasn’t healthy, I knew it wasn’t-but I couldn’t stop. The tears, the feeling of being forgotten, the aching of my broken heart was real. I really didn’t understand what God was doing. I was so desperate into finding answers, but the searching, led to my own heart breaking even more!
“And when I couldn’t feel You (when I couldn’t feel You)
And it was hard to breathe in (it was hard to breathe in)
I realized I need You”
Then in the middle of that confusion, I somehow knew I needed Jesus. It was real, He was real. I can’t do anything without Him. My help comes from the Lord Himself!
I remember walking in my neighborhood, during the early evening. And I was listening to this song and my mind went to a stop and said this “what if every broken place I’d been was a Godsend?”
God stopped me in my tracks and said, “your life will change for the better” I was moved.
As I end this blog, I just want to say; God is healing your heart breaks, wounds, & tears for the better!!
Thank you so much for reading this one! It was fun to write. 🫶🏼🩵 I love Riley SO MUCH!
