This Is The Stuff Lyric Video

Beautiful

After first hearing this song, Beautiful for Me by Nichole Nordeman; and nearly crying all the way through it, I just had to post the lyrics and share it.   It say’s so much about how we see ourselves.  And, as I was listening to this song, my computer music was on shuffle and the next song to play was Francesca Battistelli’s; Beautiful, Beautiful.  Maybe there’s a theme here?

Every girl young and old has to face her own reflection
Twirl around, stare it down
What’s the mirror gonna say
With some luck, you’ll measure up
But you might not hold a candle to the rest
“Is that your best?” says the mirror to the mess
But there’s a whisper in the noise
Can you hear a little voice
and he says
(Chorus)
Has anybody told you you’re beautiful?
You might agree if you could see what I see
Oh
‘Cuz everything about you is incredible
You should have seen me smile the day that I made you beautiful for me

If it’s true beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
What my life and what’s inside to give him something to behold
I want a heart that’s captivating
I wanna hear my Father say

(Chorus)
Close your eyes
Look inside
Let me see the you that you’ve been trying to hide
Long ago, I made you so very beautiful
So I ought to know you’re beautiful

(Chorus)
You’re so beautiful
Beautiful for me
So beautiful for me

“Call on Jesus”

“I call to God; GOD will help me.”
(Psalm 55:16)

When we feel like we are all alone and there is no one we feel we can turn to we can always call on God for help, and He will help us through anything.
I love this song because all we need to do is to “Call on Jesus.”:

“But when I call on Jesus,
All things are possible!
I can mount on wings like eagles and soar.
When I call on Jesus,
Mountains are gonna fall!
'Cause He'll move heaven and earth
to come rescue me when I call.”*

When we call on Jesus and let our light shine for Christ everywhere we go, we are letting people out in the world today know and see the love we have for Christ, so that they will come to know Him and praise Him with all of their heart and soul.

But we can’t let our light shine by itself, we need to go out there and light other people’s candles and let their light shine with ours. But often we need God’s help, to reach others. So if we call on God, God will help us, and we are Never Alone.

“And though I cannot see You
And I can't explain why
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life
We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen”

Because when one candle is lit in one small corner of a room, not much light comes from it. But when you disperse 20, 30 or 40 more candles around the room, and use that one candle to start lighting them and then next candle lights the next and then the next…the darkness of the room is filled with light and brightness. So if we show God’s love to even just one person, that person will know God’s love and shine on another person, and they will call on Jesus, to help their light shine to another person.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”
(Psalm 119:105)
