The Perfect Place

"And these nails they pierce right through me
But i don't know what this means
And this weight upon my shoulders
Makes me fall down to my knees
And I’m praying to this silence
But I don't know who can hear
And these waves of fake religion
They all echo in my ears
And this is where I fall...

The perfect place for me to fall
Is at your feet 'cause this is
All that I can offer you
To honor you
Cause who I am is what you do"

This is the second verse and chorus to a song by Hello Kelly called, The Perfect Place". I was listening to it the other day as I often do but there was something different about it, it really spoke to me.

I know that there are times in my life where I feel that I am so weighed down by the things of this world that I can not continue and I feel like giving up, and I get so frustrated because I am calling out to God but it seems that He doesn't hear me or worse I start believing the lies of the enemy, that God doesn't care.

Then it happens, I fall! As I am lying there on my knees and I look up, it is then that I realize what has happened and where I am. I have been trying to carry things on my own and not listening to God because he is telling me to let go of them and he will take care of them, but I just don't let go. And I stumble and stumble until I fall. And when I look up, where am I? At the foot of the Cross.

I am so tired because I have been trying to fight the battle myself that I just lay there crying and I am so weak that I can't do anything else. The only thing I can offer God is myself. And do you know what God does? He comforts me, helps me back up and tells me I am his Child and he loves me and how that will never change.
I don't think this post does justice to what the song actually says to me. It is so powerful to me that I can't even express it. This is the best that I can do...
