You're Not Invisible

This has to be one of the SADDEST songs I’ve EVER heard. It literally brings me to tears when I hear it. My stomach aches. My soul hurts. The lyrics pierce my heart and I imagine my daughter sitting alone, in her room, writing these words in a journal, singing these words aloud…feeling invisible.

I get it.
I know what it feels like to be alone.
I’ve had the love/ hate relationship with isolation.
I know what it means to have people see through you.
I’ve felt unnoticed.
I’ve experienced abandonment.
I get it.
It sucks.

“Every day I try to look my best even though inside I’m such a mess.”

Wow! Sadly, that sounds like CHURCH! We show up…hurt, sad, frustrated, pissed, at the end of our rope, lacking hope…and put on a smile and wave to everyone like everything is ok. Church has become a place where lost people get saved and saved people pretend. What would happen if we let down our guard? What would happen if we opened up to one another? What would happen if we put as much energy into sharing our faith as we do covering up our mess?

Change.
Growth.
Healing.
Salvation.

Take off the mask and let people see the real you. You’re NOT INVISIBLE, you’re a NEW CREATION!
