God, don't give up on me yet

There is a song called Yet by the king will come. I have played that song more than I like to admit. It has such a vulnerability and truth in it, about where I sit with God when I am struggling. The song says at the end "God I know I'm not the same, but you knew that I would change. I think that your trying, to tell me it's ok. I know I have come so far but got so far to go. And with these brand-new scars and broken heart, it's hard to really know. If there is a reason and if I'll ever see it, but I want to believe it. So don't give up on me yet".

To hear someone else pleading with God about knowing they aren't everything they should be but seeking to be there. Being honest about the pain being a distraction, but still wanting to believe there will be a day that it is all behind us. Just asking plainly don't give up on me. It brought me to tears and an understanding God meets us exactly where we are.

I usually lead or follow this song with Let, go and Let God by PJ Morton, You're Bigger by Jekalyn Carr and Lord do it for me by Zacardi Cortez. These have definitely been my go-to lately. I love me some soul and r&b, but there is nothing like gospel. People singing out to God, walk away with nothing left. It is the purest form of music I have ever heard. When it is done with no music it brings me to tears.

This is where we meet people at that are seeking to know God for themselves. The point when we know we as believers still need to cry out and let him know we are struggling. That we will never be perfect here on this earth. We will constantly be working to be more like him until we take our last breath.
