Maybe There's A Loving God - Sara Groves

This is a video interpretation of Sara Groves' Maybe There's A Loving God. Took me awhile to finish this... sometimes it's hard to believe, that it's true, when people tell you left and right that either God isn't real, or that He's some kind of monster... and in a world like this, that isn't hard to believe much of the time... and even so, if I can set aside my doubts and still dare to believe, sometimes it's hard when I'm so messed up and unlovable so much of the time, hard to believe that Someone who sees and hears everything, knows everything about me, would still choose to love me, help me, stay with me... but there are signs in my life that not only is God real, but His love is real too... and this isn't just true for me... there are still many unanswered questions, but the journey begins with
'maybe'...

Here's the lyrics to the song:
I'm trying to work things out
I'm trying to comprehend
Am I the chance result
Of some great accident
I hear a rhythm call me
The echo of a grand design
I spend each night in the backyard
Staring up at the stars in the sky

I have another meeting today
With my new counselor
My mom will cry and say
I don't know what to do with her
She's so unresponsive
I just cannot break through
She spends all night in the backyard
Staring up at the stars and the moon

They have a chart and a graph
Of my despondency
They want to chart a path
For self-recovery
And want to know what I'm thinking
What motivates my mood
To spend all night in the backyard
Staring up at the stars and the moon

Maybe this was made for me
For lying on my back in the middle of a field
Maybe that's a selfish thought
Or maybe there's a loving God

Maybe I was made this way
To think and to reason and to question and to pray
And I have never prayed a lot
But maybe there's a loving God

Maybe this was made for me
For lying on my back in the middle of a field
Maybe that's a selfish thought
Or maybe there's a loving God

Maybe I was made this way
To think and to reason and to question and to pray
And I have never prayed a lot
But maybe there's a loving God

And that may be a foolish thought
Or maybe there is a God
And I have never prayed a lot
But maybe there's a loving God

@kcainsmith2 yeah, i hear that. it's easier to look for an escape from reality then to face our questions and fears head on... but I believe that God can give each of us the grace to do that when the time is right... :)

[edwardtulane82]

@kcainsmith2 ah :/

[edwardtulane82]

@kcainsmith2 That's understandable... but I believe that one day the Jewish people as a whole will have their eyes opened (as some are already have their eyes opened), and they will know their Messiah, and can say 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' :)

And I agree...

And yes, the Hound of Heaven will never give up. :)

[kcainsmith2]

@kcainsmith2 That helps quiet the voices that demand answers...

@edwardtulane82 College party mode.

@edwardtulane82 Her mom is a Reformed Jew. I understand her concerns from her point of view. But there is a God-shaped hole in our hearts and we don't find rest until we meet the One who created the world and sent His son to give us that incredible free gift of eternal life. He is THE way, the truth and the life. We show that to others by loving them. I believe "the hound of heaven" is definitely not finished with my niece...

[edwardtulane82]

@kcainsmith2 How is your niece doing now?

[edwardtulane82]

@kcainsmith2 Thank you :) Wow... that's really sad. :/

Was her mom a hard-nosed atheist, or something like that? :/

I confess there have been times I've wanted to die so I could meet God and be sure of His existence and His love, but then I believe that God wants us to live out our lives here, to keep going and not give up. If we do give up like that, I believe that God is gracious and merciful and will forgive us, but I believe it would be a mistake to do so nevertheless...

Wonderful job...my niece started asking questions about God and Jesus, writing to my son (who loves the Lord and is her cousin) when she was 13. Her mother put a stop to it. She did not want her to hear about Jesus. Three years later she tried to take her life. The reason she told us? "I wanted to see God."

@FredrickVonShwinkel I can relate :) I didn't grow up in the church either, and didn't start believing in God until about the same age you did... and then I walked away from God at 19, and He pulled me back about 4 years later... and now things are changing, and I'm finding out that He is a lot more loving and a lot more powerful than I originally thought, and that He won't stop until everyone, and I mean everyone, is drawn back to Him. :)
