@karebear4christ Im so sorry to hear all of that heartache and pain but just know that this life doesnt last forever... god is bigger than the problem you will/faced and HIS grace Is sufficient and will.help you cope through any circumstance. Just know how proud He is of you for living out his name and chosing to believe In in beautiful glory!! Will be praying for you x
This song spoke to me <3. I had lived in a broken family all my life, with shared custody and monthly visitations. I was terrified of the weeks I had to stay with him, because I knew what was waiting for me when I got there. I was afraid maybe I'd grow up to be as corrupted as him. The first time I'd heard this song was the week I finally broke away from his abuse and spoke up for myself. This song reminds me that I no longer have to feel trapped and out of options, because I'm finally free <3
@lovePINK1117 yours sounds like mine except i actually didnt meet my mom till 13 and no one comes around because of my granma im sorry for what happened to you and feel for you. :)
@tree845 ya my mom dident let me see my dad till i was 13 she said he wanted nothing to do with me or my little brother now im 15 see my dad every other weekend and i live with my grandparents life is good!
My mom fights clinical depression. My dad can't finish anything he starts. My great grandma and my grandma died of congestive heart failure. My grandparents fight diabetes. Everyone in my family is considered clinically obese. My parents barely earn enough money working low class jobs. My uncle drinks a lot. My aunt is suffering from denial. My other uncle constantly overeats. I really, really, am thankful for this song. I don't have to be like any of them! Their legacy is NOT mine!!
Does this song remind anyone else of A Tale of Two Cities? To me, it seems almost like this is from the perspective of Sydney Carton near the end of the book. (I know it's supposed to be about Jesus' sacrifice, but it seems to fit so well...)
I am 12 and I get most of my "Family Jeans" from my mom's side. My mom's Sister has asthma, I got it when I was 3. She has very rare hair, I do too. She is also a drunk and she smokes around me and one time made me try it at age 6. Will this mean that I will be like that too?
@disneystarify omg..no that does not make u the same..just go on the right path and god will lead the way..do not let ur mom affect u..she has nothing on you x
@disneystarify no. I'm studying psychology and tons of tests have shown that children who have relatives who drink and/or smoke usually don't do it when they grow up. However, the parents that don't usually have children who grow up and do. The reason behind this is because children who have relatives who have these bad habits see the horrible effects and they don't do it. Don't worry sweet heart, my dad had a drinking problem, and my mother smokes, but I don't. Hang in there :) <3
@disneystarify the only way that could happen to you is if you arent strong enough to say that you dont want that life. its your choice to say if you want that kind of life or not. everything you do in life is your choice so if you dont want that life then learn from your moms mistakes and you will be just fine believe me ive had to do the same thing because my family is full of drug attics and when my dad passed away because of them i said im not going down that road. you can do it to :)
I think it's a pretty ridiculous how petty some people are. What is anyone really accomplishing by bashing on other people and their beliefs? It's pretty hypocritical to post comments complaining about people using this song as a "soap box", when, really, aren't some of you doing just the same??
wow what a way to wreck a good song and turn it into your own little soap box. I don't have to follow your religion or share your view on G-d to enjoy this song and learn the lesson in it.
Nanan, if you ever come across this song, it's the song i dedicate to you. Me, my mom and grandma all think this song is very fitting for you. Losing your dad, my uncle, was hard, but i know this song will help. I know you probably think about the last words he said to you before he died a lot, but you know he didn't mean them. He loved you so much! We all do... This song is a message to you from God. Listen carefully, Julian :) Love you always and forever, your little cousin, Amanda Danielle <3
I love how this song is manily only known now by people because of VampireDiaries <3 the best song,i nearly cried. why did tyler have to leave and awh :3 bonnie and jeremy :)
I love how this song is manily only known now by people because of VampireDiaries <3 the best song,i nearly cried. why did tyler have to leave and awh :3 bonnie and jeremy :)
I think the fact that they played this on the Vampire Diaries is awesome. ^^ It shows that you don't have to be "stuck up"- forgive me, that's the only way I know how to phrase it -to be Christian. At least not the teens. I mean, I'm Christian all the way, but I love my vampires. ;)
@jazminemandela Honestly, no-one gives a fuck whether it's Christian or not, so why don't you just listen to the song and enjoy it rather than post useless comments that no-one cares about.
does anyone else think the start sounds like Howie Day's Collide? With the duh duh duh's. That's what i thought it was when i first heard it. Still a great song though
beautiful song and his voice is amazing! i don't even remember how many times i pressed "repeat". what would we do if there wasn't for Vampire Diaries??? how would we discover all these great songs???
I didn't know this was a Christian song. I just look at it like a very inspiring song. It just gives me so much hope! This makes me believe we don't have to make all the mistakes our fathers did, we'll do better!
I LOVE the verses you put together with the song!! <3 About breaking our chains free, and the salvation through Jesus Christ. And the last one!!!! Phawr! About the tree that bears fruit fits so well with this song, and how Jesus is OUR legacy!!
I love you Allah Almighty ... you are THE only god i believe in ... it hurts me that i'm doing things that you ordered me to avoid and for that i ask your forgiveness and guide through this soon to end life ... I AM NOTHING WITHOUT YOU `` ...
i LOVE matthew west- but i'm surprised they played this on the vampire diaries, being that he's a "christian" artist. AMAZING SONG and AMAZING EPISODE. :)
I was too. Hopefully God can use that for His kingdom. I am a believer and I know that Vampire Diaries is not a "healthy" show because of the demonic rituals and symbols, but somehow I got hooked on it. I hope that through this song people will hear the message of Jesus' love and Father's grace. God bless.
This song really spoke to me, but not specifically from the Christian standpoint it was meant. I just recently lost my dad a few weeks ago at only 63 yrs old. I had alot of resentment for him growing up & redeveloped a relationship with him the last few years. His death was unexpected & since we didnt know was ill, it didn't allow me to say goodbye. The words of the song came as his unspoken message to me, instructions for my life after him! THANK YOU..I was needing help connecting with him!
agreed....thats where i heard the song and i was like i need to listen to this song again....sooo good and so fitting to tyler's situation.....sooooo amazing
If the world would listen and try to understand the music that these christian musicians are trying to get across, maybe we wouldn't be in the shape that we are in.Not that there music is the only kind to listen to, but they do always sing about good and positive things. I think we need more of this.
@karebear4christ Im so sorry to hear all of that heartache and pain but just know that this life doesnt last forever... god is bigger than the problem you will/faced and HIS grace Is sufficient and will.help you cope through any circumstance.
