Everyone Just Needs to be Heard

Let's face it. When it all boils down, we all just want to be heard.

This realization struck me the other day when I was reading sixbillionsecrets.com. That's a site where you can just go and post whatever secret you happen to have, depressing or happy, without any judgement. The most "liked" secrets get posted. And the one thing I noticed there was the imense amount of people who just wanted to be heard.

I think that's why this world is overflowing with facebook, myspace, twitter, texting, and everything else inbetween. We all just wanted to be heard, noticed, and have a chance to be a part of a community or something bigger than ourselves. This is how God created us to be. But I think somewhere along the way we have all gotten lost. We are screaming for love and attention through eating disorders, depression, or a multitude of other things (including litterally SCREAMING for attention). Because this world tells us we are just a gear in a massive social system. Just a mass of cells arranged by chance for no real purpose. But that is simply not true.

God created you. He created you to love and to be loved. He created you beautiful. He created you with a specific purpose in mind. God has a plan for your life greater than you could ever imagine. God didn't create you to live an ordinary life. He created you to give everything you have to Him.

God gave you special ideas and a reason to be heard. Every moment in our lives, the good and the bad, God will work together for those who love Him. So be heard.

"Please don't change, don't be afraid, that you're not wanted here, cause you're wanted here. Don't fade away, and don't hide your face, and all the lonely tears will disapear. Maybe you can't see it but I can. You are someone's work of art, just the way you are. And you're shining like the stars tonight. All the peices of your heart, and all the lovely scars, are someone's work of art, are someone's work of art."
