Let Your Love Be Strong

     Lately my life has been chaotic. Complete disarray has consumed me. I no longer have control over most of most of my thoughts. I am wrapped up in things that i would rather let go. I find myself leaning on things that crumble under me. I lose countless hours of sleep. One of the largest problems i see is, i don't know what is bothering me. I don't know what is keeping me up, i don't know what i'm worried about, i don't know. Maybe the problem is that i do not know. Maybe that is keeping me up, the fact that i simply do not know. I like school. I like learning new things. I love to gain new knowledge, maybe because it makes me feel good about myself. Maybe because i just love thinking. I've realized that the thing i lean on is myself, my knowledge, and my abilities. I lean on MaryJane and all she can do. And the truth is she isn't good enough. I have discovered that i need to rely on God more, because MaryJane is not going to cut it. In fact, she doesn't even put a scratch on it much less cut it. Once i came to understand this, all i could think about is the song 'Let Your Love Be Strong' by Switchfoot. I encourage you to watch the video and examine the lyrics below... What are you leaning and trusting on? What is enough for you?

In this world of news, I've found nothing new
I've found nothing pure
Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that truth
Could be fact and form
That love could be a verb
Maybe I'm just a little misinformed

As the dead moon rises, and the freeways sigh
Let the trains watch over the tides and the mist
Spinning circles in our skies tonight
Let the trucks roll in from Los Angeles
Maybe our stars are unanimously tired

Let your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down
Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes
All of my world hanging on your love

Let the wars begin, let my strength wear thin
Let my fingers crack, let my world fall apart
Train the monkeys on my back to fight
Let it start tonight
When my world explodes, when my stars touch the ground
Falling down like broken satellites

Let your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down
Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your skies
All that I'm hanging on 
All of my world resting on your love
