Starbucks is amazing, yes, this is true. However, one of my favorite things about Starbucks is probably how they give away free itunes downloads. I mean, usually the songs are amazing. And, you wouldn't have discovered them if not for Starbucks. Anyway, I recently discovered this pretty cool song (via Starbucks, of course) that has really kept me thinking. God usually speaks to me through the arts, so it wasn't that surprising that this song kept nagging at me. (Btw, I never really knew the correct spelling of that word...is there a k in front?) The end of the chorus is as follows: (These are the main lyrics that stood out to me)
"Your darkness is shining,
My darkness is shining,
Have faith in myself,
Truth."
Well, here was my interpretation of it: God doesn't just shine through me when I'm talking about the Bible, or when I'm doing something "good". He shines through everything; He penetrates the darkness in my heart. Therefore I should be confident in who He created me to be because whats inside of me is Truth.
Truth is penetrating my darkness.

You, my beautiful sister, are truly amazing.
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree with you about Starbucks. About half of my itunes account consist of their freebies.
