You Are More!

Last year while I was at Mercy ( A Christian residential programme) I was introduced to Tenth Avenue North - A Christian band. I remember sitting in one of the Staff's car on the way to the doctors and a song called You Are More came on, I had never heard it before, but wow! I sat there thinking that's me!! they are singing about me! I was hooked. The song talks about being more than the choices that you have made, that its not about my past, or what i have done or had done to me but its about what God has done for me and about who i am becoming.
That song became an anthem for a season of my life, but you know what it fits any time. even now it still reminds me that the choices I have made do not define who i am!! 

Sometimes we make bad choices, but that doesn't mean we've messed up, or failed or that we are bad.  It's a mistake and we learn from it and move on. It sounds easy right!!!!   Its not always easy BUT it is DOABLE! sitting and dwelling on the bad choice is going to leave you stuck and in a place of pain and self pity. You cant change it, but you CAN learn from it! 

Making a bad choice doesn't mean that's it, its shows me I've still got things to work on and that's ok because I am still on a journey I'm not at my destination yet so there will still be bumps and bends to overcome. I AM NOT PERFECT but that's ok.

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.

'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.
