I am more!

I often feel like God speaks to me through music, and since my pregnancy, I really feel like he uses Tenth Avenue North a lot, lol! "Don't you know who you are, what's been done for you?" I tend to beat myself up at times, and it's just something I need to hear. I am more than the choices that I've made, the sum of my past mistakes, and the problems that I create because I've been remade. God loves me in my imperfection, and in spite of all the wrong I have done. Thankfully, I am on a much brighter path at this point in my life, and I try a lot harder to be who God created me to be, but there are so many moments that I fail him (sooo many), and there are so many moments that I am ashamed of the past and dissatisfied with who I am in the present. Hearing those words reassures me that he may be disappointed, hurt, or just flat out angry with me, but he will never leave or forsake me. So the next time you begin to feel worthless or down and out, remember, "don't you know who you are, and what has been done for you?" John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." That is what has been done for us all, and if that won't lift your spirits, I don't know what will!


You are More- Lyrics by Tenth Avenue North

There's a girl in the corner
With tear stains on her eyes
From the places she's wandered
And the shame she can't hide

She says, "How did I get here?
I'm not who I once was.
And I'm crippled by the fear
That I've fallen too far to love"

But don't you know who you are,
What's been done for you?
Yeah don't you know who you are?

You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

Well she tries to believe it
That she's been given new life
But she can't shake the feeling
That it's not true tonight

She knows all the answers
And she's rehearsed all the lines
And so she'll try to do better
But then she's too weak to try

But don't you know who you are?

You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

'Cause this is not about what you've done,
But what's been done for you.
This is not about where you've been,
But where your brokenness brings you to

This is not about what you feel,
But what He felt to forgive you,
And what He felt to make you loved.

You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

You've been remade
You've been remade.
You've been remade.
You've been remade.
