Inadequate Words

Have you ever seen a concert or heard a song or looked at a painting or read a sentence, and something within you feels like it's being turned and twisted and your soul is about to break? Well, I have...

I don't know, maybe I'm being over dramatic or Emo or something, but I've felt it...label me how you will.

Weaver At The Loom is amazing...something about their music does that to me. It's not that their lyrics are incredibly profound or that their groundbreaking musically...I don't know, I suppose I can't really explain what I'm feeling, so I won't do it the injustice of putting it into inadequate words. Maybe if I was C.S. Lewis, I could convey what I'm talking about...

I get the same feeling when I read him, too.

This is what I can say. Music is proof that our souls were created for something more than this world has to offer. When that feeling hits me in the gut, I am given a glimpse of something else, something...I don't know, almost other-worldly. I am given a glimpse of a Greater Glory.

The problem is that so often, we as humans focus on the thing that is doing the pointing instead of what it is pointing at...God. If we don't see Him, than we've missed it.

"So let us pray that we not be like the one-year-old who, when daddy points at a flower, looks at his daddy's finger instead." ~ John Piper

Yeah, the flower is so much better than even the best looking finger...
