remedy.
Every time I listen to "The Remedy" by David Crowder Band I wonder where the passion goes. Each time I go to a conference, or a retreat, or a mission trip especially, I come home with so much passion burning in my stomach. But then it goes away. Why? I would like to think that I fall more in love with Christ every time I think about Him, but if that's so then why don't I feel an urge in my gut? "The Remedy" puts it in such simple terms. "So I lift up my voice and open my hands to cling to a love that I can't comprehend." To get the passion, I cling to Him. The more I thought about it the more I understood that to be out of my comfort zone means that I have to cling to Christ like he's my last breath of air. "We lift up our voices and open our hands; let go of the things that have kept us from Him." It's things in our lives that we cling to that keep us from Him. When I open my hands they're finally free to grasp onto Christ like He's the very breath I breathe. Maybe it's time I open my hands and let my comforts fall to the ground. Maybe it's time I put myself out there so that I have to cling to Christ to keep me standing.
