Its a story. This life. That's all it is. A story. Its a love story. Can we see it? Can we believe it? A love story between God and His children. We see the pain. We see the anger and the hatred. We see the sin. We see where man has gone wrong. We see where Satan has messed up the perfection. But do we see the story? That is what its all about. The story. Its a love story. An intense love story. One that goes far beyond the brutality of this world. It seems cliché, but its true. Life is a story. And God's love is the center. The center. The very center. But not only the center. It fills every other part as well. Because that is the story. Love. It is an overwhelming, overpowering, impossible love. But that is the story. We see the impossible pain in this world, and we say, how can that be the story. We see the intense evil, and we conclude, that can't be love. But we don't see the full story. We don't see the message underlying it all. We don't see the love. But we just need our eyes to be opened. We need to see. Because there is the power of the story. And once we have seen. Once we have seen. It is NEVER the same again. NEVER the same. This world is trivial. The pain is shallow. I'm not undermining pain, but it is so shallow compared to the love. Because love is the story. And love goes deeper than the deepest pain. Love was before pain is. LOVE created this world, and LOVE will finish this world. We CAN walk through the valley of the shadow of death because of the LOVE. Because the LOVE is deeper than death. Its the story. It is all about the story. We can face death, but what will we see. Beyond the death, beyond the pain, beyond the anger, the self-hatred, the sadness, the rejection, the loneliness, the depression. Is the story. Lets get caught up in the story. Forget about this trivial world. Lets go deep. Go beyond. Lets find the story, and ruin our lives. Ruin our lives for this world. Ruin our lives for what this world says is valuable. Because we have found the story. And our lives are changed. Changed. Completely. Forever. Changed. Because of LOVE!
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set thier hearts on pilgrimage.

You have a story
Oh God, you have a story for me
You have a story
You have a story
Oh Father, you have a plan for me
You have a plan
You have a plan
I know I don't always see
I don't always see the truth (see the truth)
I know I don't always understand
I don't always understand you (understand you)
But I believe, I believe
I only see this world
My eyes are so blinded (so blinded)
I only see my own life
I am so self-centered (so self-centered)
But I know, I know
Oh God, you have a story for me
You have a story
You have a story
Oh Father, you have a plan for me
You have a plan,
You have a plan
So please break through these walls
These walls that cut you out (cut you out)
Please cut through to my heart
My heart that longs for you (longs for you)
'Cause I'm hungry, I'm hungry
My heart is crying out
Crying out to you (out to you)
My heart is bleeding without life
'Cause I know that I need you (I need you)
So please fill me, fill me
Oh God, you have a story for me
You have a story
You have a story
Oh Father, you have a plan for me
You have a plan,
You have a plan

Its your love
Its the pain inside that keeps me running
Its the fear that stops me still
Its the Jesus I see that keeps me going
Its the love that gets me still
I don't understand this pain inside
I don't know the reasons why
But I know, I know, I know,
That you got, you got a better plan
You want so much more for me
You want so, so much more
You wanna love me, love me still
You wanna love beyond my pain
Its the rejection I feel that keeps me crying
Its the lies that steal my joy
Its the unbelief inside that stops my trying
Its the anger that takes the joy
I don't understand this pain inside
I don't know the reasons why
But I know, I know, I know,
That you got, you got a better plan
You want so much more for me
You want so, so much more
You wanna love me, love me still
You wanna love beyond my pain
Its your love inside that keeps me pushing
Your life that give me peace
Its your acceptance that gets me loving
Its your love that gives release
