Beautiful

This song always hits home for me.  Beautiful lyrics, and a beautiful message.

"Please lay down your arrows
'Cause they're sure to pierce the skin
And water from a broken well
Will make you thirst again
When all things you've acquired
Are tested by the flames
And you can see them melting
Then will you call His name?

And it's worth it brothers
And it's worth it friends
To know your maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved?

To the slaughter you are being led
Being told that it's a party
That this God is in your head
And every single lie
Sounds just like the greatest truth
But the one truth you're not hearing
Is that He died for you

And it's worth it brothers
And it's worth it friends
To know your maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved?

No greater joy
No greater peace
No greater love than this

No greater joy
No greater peace
No greater love
No

And it's worth it brothers
And it's worth it friends
To know your Maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved?

And it's worth it brothers
And it's worth it friends
To know your Maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved?"

We are dearly loved.  By so many people.  Why is it so hard to see it sometimes?  I feel like sometimes I get trapped in the constraints of society and focus on everything I'm "not" or every "mistake" I've made.  Sometime I feel like guilt is running my life instead of me.

But why?!  Every decision I've make in my life brought me to where I am today.  Every choice I made was a lesson, positive or negative.  Live with no regrets.  You're beautiful, just the way you are.

Strive for improvement but cherish your mistakes.  They're what makes you, you.  And you, are the perfect you.
