Thoughts: Still Alive by Lisa Miskovsky

For me, this is actually quite an uplifting song. It was shown to me by a dear friend and each time a listen to it, I think of him. He's the friend that I won't allow any closer than an arm's length away. Close enough to help but far enough to not cause any harm. It sounds like a selfish thing to do but it's the right thing to do.
Here's the thing, he's one of those temptations that distract in my life. It's not entirely his fault but I do lay some of the blame on him because he's always trying to bring me down. I know that he doesn't always mean it but even the jokes have an effect on me because I can see what they would do to me.
That's why I like this song. It reflects exactly how I feel about him. I will not apologize for making the choice to choose God over him. When I walk down my path in the Lord's light I make sure that my friend sees faith and not pride, though I don't think he cares enough to differentiate the two but I digress. I want others to see faith so that I am the proper light that the Lord needs me to be so that others will want to be with him as much as I do.
God doesn't need to use me or anyone else to bring his children to him. He's God and could easily do that himself. However, because he is God, He loves us enough to use us to bring his children to him. My friend is the “you” with the concrete heart that won't come back to life. I know too many hearts like that and I pray for them because I would be very sad and sorry if I do not have the opportunity to see them in the Kingdom of Heaven.
