Eloquent

I've been thinking a lot lately about how God really sees me. I think what I'm beginning to see is that what Jesus sees is so much different than what I see. I see all of my flaws, my shortcomings, all the reasons why I'm not good enough...but that's not who Jesus sees. I still struggle with that! I don't want to see myself as "perfect" (because I know I'm not!), but the truth is I was created in God's image & I've been saved by grace (not by works). This means that when Christ sees me he sees "perfect" stamped on my forehead!

This song is by Sanctus Real (love this band!) It's called Eloquent & I think it pretty much reflects what's on my mind right now :-)


I’m as eloquent as an elephant
About as headstrong as the Mighty King Kong
On a rampage throwing airplanes
I can’t believe you haven’t gone away, gone away
I'm difficult, argumentative
About as thick skulled as the dinosaur bones
On a display…in a glass case
I can’t believe you haven’t run away, run away

It must be different through your eyes
Because you look at me like it’s the first time
That you’ve ever seen my face

I’m preoccupied with a crowded mind
I get off track like a train rolling back to the future
Never too sure who’ll be here when I come back around
But I’m finding out
