I Have Made Mistakes

I have legitimately been listening to this song on repeat for the past few weeks. I love, love, LOVE the first verse... I feel like it adequately describes my life- mistakes, broken promises, doubts. But like the song goes on to say, I'm not alone in the dark with my demons-- Jesus enters in. He enters into my mess and He loves me. He teaches me, He empowers me, He strengthens me. Jesus uses the rain in our lives- the less than desirable circumstances- to grow us, to make us whole. And I am so grateful because I have made mistakes. But it's not a waste if I learn from them.

I have made mistakes, I continue to make them 

the promises I've made, I continue to break them
and all the doubts I've faced, I continue to face them 
but nothing is a waste if you learn from it

and the sun, it does not cause us to grow 
it is the rain that will strengthen your soul 
and it will make you whole

we have lived in fear, and our fear has betrayed us 
but we will overcome the apathy that has made us 

because we are not alone in the dark with our demons 

and we have made mistakes 

but we've learned from them

and the sun, it does not cause us to grow 

it is the rain that will strengthen your soul 

and it will make you whole

and oh my heart, how can I face you now? 

when we both know how badly I have let you down 

and I am afraid of all that I've built 

fading away
