Once again a powerful message and reminder of God’s love delivered in your beautiful voice and video.
Song after song you clearly describe your faithful walk with God which I admire.
While I am not so clear about how to describe mine, your words invited me to think about how do I or do I live “for the glory of God?” Perhaps I have another way to explain how I do this. I’m not sure what those words mean to me so I will spend some time thinking about it.
P. S. I am leaning into this powerful statement you sing about. Your songs are filled with rich words that are an invitation for me to sink deeper into what they mean to me. So thank you. Even though listening to a Gregorian chant as I fell asleep this question I posed brought “whispers in the night” so my slumber was interrupted.
Often when I am leaning into an important question answers come in the middle of the night. I don’t know about you but sometimes I decide how my answer will show up… that rarely happens!
I discovered I do have my own language for describing living for the glory of God. My whispers showed me evidence with two examples of how I was treated by two total strangers yesterday as a result of how I had interacted with them. Kindness, compassion, caring and tenderness were the gifts I received. I think that exchange makes God smile!!!
I believe all of us are at any moment walking with, sitting with or leaning into at least one important question. Perhaps stimulated by your words. And especially in our current political climate. Allowing oneself to be vulnerable and share…it takes courage.
I think maybe the community isn’t really interested in the question I’m leaning into… and maybe they are…so I am being vulnerable in sharing. I would love to hear the question/statement others are sitting with because I do care. It makes the journey lighter and easier knowing we are not alone. Whether it is walking in faith with God or the generosity of an earth angel that shows up to witness with us while we await the answer.
Thank you Music City for your continued courage and vulnerability in sharing your faith with us. Thank you Youtropolis community for sharing your question or statement.
I’m quite sure that many people are sitting on an important question right now. Not everyone will share it or even have the right words to express it, let alone the courage. But I’m glad you did. Yours is a very thoughtful question and, I believe, important and one others will be very interested in.
God is love, so I agree that your experience of kindness makes God smile. Another way of putting it is, if we are glorifying God, we are doing so with love. At minimum, this is a practice of being kind to others and hopefully respecting ourselves equally, recognizing our worth, raising our consciousness, and being in service to the highest good. If we are lucky enough to feel God’s presence and interact with it, that’s icing on the cake. So much goodness can flow into the world through having and honoring such a gift.
Right now, I’m sitting with my own question, and the answer to important questions can’t always be revealed until additional pieces of the puzzle are in place. So patience is required. It has to do with meeting needs. What do people really want? I imagine it’s different depending on what stage of life one is in.
My nephew recently told me that Facebook is like junk food and Youtropolis is like healthy vegetables. I took that as a backhanded compliment. And I get it. People want to relax into something fun and mindless at the end of the day. And maybe numbing ourselves serves God’s purpose? I don’t know, since even experts say it’s dumbed us down, divided and corrupted us, and left us isolated and detached from reality. That’s the question I’m grappling with.
This song is wonderful: the music, the arrangement, the lyrics, those great harmonies. I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but I hear church choirs everywhere performing this song. It's so beautiful! And it's amazing how all these beautiful songs of yours, one after the other, infuse you from above, and get translated by you into a potential hit, classic, or magnum opus. What a great way to glorify God!
What a pleasure it is to listen to this piece. There's so much joy in the music and lyrics. And the visuals are amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your gift with us.
After listening to this song and enjoying the comments, I felt a kinship with all that’s expressed on this post.
This song is my new favorite 🤩 I have several favorites from your collection, but I gotta say it’s the purity in your voice that most makes me listen again and again. There’s so little of anything resembling purity in our world today. Has anyone noticed?
If I grapple with a deeper question, it might be summed up as “where did the purity go?” Or was it always just a figment of my imagination?
Your music confirms it’s real. Your heart is steeped in God, but there are endless holy rollers, priests, parishes, and preachers who are absent of God’s grace. They’re up to no good and they know it, even take pride in it in the name of god. And it trickles downwards to members of congregations everywhere who admire those at the top and follow in their footsteps. It’s a mystery. They preach God’s glory but dance with the devil.
So thank you for refreshing my faith and being a true servant of God.
Wow, again! I loved this song. It's such a heartwarming, feel good song. You should get a Grammy award.
I don't know if I have any question I'm sitting with right now. I think I've sort of given up on trying to figure stuff out. I see so much ugliness in our country, but I also see the good, the humble, the righteous acting on impulse. Their goodness reminds me of God's love and glory manifesting through thick and thin, good days, bad days, and everything in between...and through beautiful, touching songs like yours.
