Atmosphere

What is the most incredible atmosphere you've been in?

Not just a sight you've seen, a place you've been; but the whole atmosphere, every piece of matter surrounding you.

A place where everything seems to float. A place where you seem to touch heaven, where God sits and smiles at you.

Think of the person that your eyes light up too every time you see them.

Think of how important they are to you; think of how much you love them.

Now imagine this...

Imagine Gods' eyes lighting up, every morning you wake up.

His eyes light up knowing that you're going to live another day for Him, knowing that you'll preach His word, change people's lives - just as He changed yours.

Now think back to where that incredible atmosphere was, and wonder what it would be like to be in that atmosphere, with God's eyes lighting up when He sees you. His warm smile comforting every move you make? Calming every nerve and taking away every doubt you've ever had.

Imagine Him standing right by your side.

You wouldn't need that other amazing atmosphere, would you?

Gods' eyes light up every morning you open your eyes, knowing that you will go out and fulfill His will, become closer to Him, learn more about Him and praise Him.

You wouldn't need all the colours, the emotions, the people and the sounds that all linked in to create this atmosphere.

And to know that He never leaves your side,

Love, what are you frowning for?

The most incredible atmosphere is right there.

I have this idea that if I stare at this page, words will flow, ideas will blossom.

But my words have never been so detached; my ideas have never seemed so flawed.

Weren't you scared?

Drown your sorrows in that bottle of wine

Cascading in a line

From your hand to your mouth

One at a time

I know it's painful

But you're staring me down

You couldn't change that frown

If someone paid you too

Cos' you know I'm over you

And time, is standing on our heads and

Wondering why

Our minds are full and hearts misled

Truth lies

In the fact the dreams are almost dead

Scared, your throwing your mood around

Like it's food

I dont care if your everyones second best

Just give it a rest

Stop trying to impress

And time, is standing on our heads and

Wondering why

Our minds are full and hearts misled

Truth lies

In the fact that the dreams are almost dead

Thrown off by your apathy

It's true your through, I know it's me

Your a stranger to the love

That was always there

I'm alone in my defeat

And you're never near

Love, werent you scared?

To justify.

What if mankind created God?

What if we all just needed an excuse, a justification. So we create this one idea that would rescue us from all our guilt - something that would save us from ourselves.

We all sin, we're liars. It's the human condition. We're constantly thinking of ways in which to improve our appearance, our character and eventually our status in society.

Is it that Gods grace is thrown from your path? All you see is a ticket into heaven.

Where's your relationship?

"I did something terrible, but it's okay, God forgave me - it basically didn't even happen."

So what now? You've been forgiven, you've been shown God's grace - but let me guess, you're going to go and do the same terrible thing tomorrow, its habit.

Maybe mankind didn't create God, but maybe the idea of Him and His will is excluded from your thoughts, when you use Him as your justification. Maybe things aren't going your way - is Jesus going to be your bandage to cover your wound? One that stops the bleeding, but eventually is taken off. It's only temporary.

Is God your justification? Is he your bandage?

God isn't temporary.

He can't simply be used and thrown away. It's a relationship, a lifetime, an eternity.

He doesn't only hold your hand when you're bleeding.

He carries you, even when all your wounds are gone.
