You are more

Today I’m talking to a lot of people.

…to someone who just soothed her pain with a bag of chips and bottle of Coke…..again

…to someone who purged what she just ate in the toilet….again

…to someone who soothed her empty soul with a stranger last night….again

…to someone who has given up on her marriage….again

…to someone who caused external pain to mask her internal pain….again

…to someone who chose selfishness over selflessness with her husband….again

…to someone who chose sleep over time with God…again

Today I’m talking to me. Today I’m talking to you. You are more.

You are God’s daughter! Don’t you know who you are?

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone,

the new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17

You are more than the choices that you’ve made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You’ve been remade.

♥♥♥

I love this song. I pray it will encourage you today.

Full Lyrics

“You are more” by Tenth Avenue North

There’s a girl in the corner
With tear stains on her eyes
From the places she’s wandered
And the shame she can’t hide

She says, “How did I get here?
I’m not who I once was.
And I’m crippled by the fear
That I’ve fallen too far to love”

But don’t you know who you are,
What’s been done for you?
Yeah don’t you know who you are?

You are more than the choices that you’ve made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You’ve been remade.

Well she tries to believe it
That she’s been given new life
But she can’t shake the feeling
That it’s not true tonight

She knows all the answers
And she’s rehearsed all the lines
And so she’ll try to do better
But then she’s too weak to try

But don’t you know who you are?

You are more than the choices that you’ve made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,

You’ve been remade.

You are more than the choices that you’ve made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You’ve been remade.

‘Cause this is not about what you’ve done,
But what’s been done for you.
This is not about where you’ve been,
But where your brokenness brings you to

This is not about what you feel,
But what He felt to forgive you,
And what He felt to make you loved.

You are more than the choices that you’ve made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You’ve been remade.

You are more than the choices that you’ve made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You’ve been remade.

You’ve been remade
You’ve been remade.
You’ve been remade.
You’ve been remade.
