Sometimes life just sucks. Sometimes you feel worthless and dirty and just invisible. Sometimes it feels like God isn’t there, that He doesn’t care, and you might even start to doubt if He’s real.
Everyone goes through these moments. Everyone sometimes feels sad, angry, upset, and that’s okay. In those moments of hurt and doubt, these songs have helped me feel better, lighter, and strengthen my faith. Even if I can’t feel Jesus at this moment, He is there and He does care.
Even when I feel dirty or ugly in my eyes, in the eyes of God I am priceless. When I feel worthless, I remember that I matter to the Savior of the world. He died for ME and that no matter what I do or say He will always love me. Music is a way to praise Jesus and show our love to him and to feel his love for us. As Psalm 101:1 says “I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise."
