Whatever Reason

So for this song, I think I heard it a loong time ago, but recently KLOVE was doing a free download thing, and so this one was included.
So when I was listening to this song, I really liked it. It's in the perspective of God speaking to us. It's a clear depiction of the love that God has for us. Honestly, every one of us makes mistakes, everyone comes across failures in our lives. But those things are in the past. They don't matter anymore. I mean of course whatever you do has consequences, but in God's eyes, he's wiped you clean. You're completely clean. I just came back today from my school's first official softball practice of the year, and my mom had lined the seat with towels because I was so dirty. I was sore and I felt like I really needed to take a shower... xD
Well, anyway, after I took that shower, I felt all clean and happy and not muddy. But isn't that how God is? We do get so dirty, and we're sore and we've been running for so long that we have blisters on our feet. We feel like we don't know where to go, or what we're doing, and we feel like we can't go back. I'm not saying that softball is pointless and not worth it. By all means, it's an AWESOME sport! But I'm just saying that sometimes, it feels like we've been living this life for so long, and we feel like we've gotten ourselves into a ditch and we can't get out. We feel so shameful, and we think we can't fix our current state.
But if you look at it, God gives us so many opportunities just to turn around and run back into His arms. There is no sin that you can commit that would be big enough to wipe away the love that God has for you. It really doesn't matter what we've done in the past in the long run, because God already forgave you. You can turn around. You can run back. You can be embraced by His loving arms again. It's never to late to start over again. All God wants is for us to come home. To love Him. He's loved us so much.
In addition, He sees us as His "beloved child[ren]". So many of us feel like we're dirt, and that we're useless, and that we're not worth a penny. But think before you think that, because isn't it God that created you? Isn't it God that loves you? God sees us as his beloved children. No matter what we do, God will always love us. He longs for us just to run into His big strong daddy arms, because we are His children. So we can change our course. Instead of running away, let's run to Him. He's been waiting. He's been loving. He's been wanting us to come home...

Whatever reason you've been running
I just don't care anymore
Already forgotten whatever happened with what went wrong
I just want you to come home...
