Have You Ever Felt This Way Before?

Today I was listening to the song "This is a call" by Thousand Foot Krutch. No matter where I am in my life, that song always gets me. Even if I'm so unspeakably happy, like I was today, it can still move me to tears. The first stanza and chorus goes as follows:


She's fooled all of her friends
Into thinking she's so strong
but she still sleeps with the light on
And she acts like it's all right on
As she smiles again
And her mother lies there sick with cancer
And her friends don't understand her
She's a question without answers
Who feel like falling apart

And she knows she's so much more than worthless
She needs to find her purpose
And she wonders what she did to deserve this and,

She's calling out to you
This is a call, this is a call out
'cause every time I fall down
I reach out to you
And I'm losing all control now
And my hazard signs are all out,
I'm asking you to show me what this life is all about.

That first stanza is exactly who I used to be and still sometimes feel like, but the second part is the one that really gets me. I know I'm so much more than worthless, and that's not conceit. That's knowing that I am the daughter of the king of kings! That's amazing! However, I still sometimes feel like I wander without a purpose, and sometimes I wonder what I "did to deserve this".

For those of you whom this song fits, remember that you are so much more than worthless! You are (or can become) the son or daughter of the Lord Over All the Earth! That's insane, I don't understand it, but I believe it.
