He's Everything



Hey everybody, Tay-Tay here.


Some of my favorite nights here in Harmons is when we host a talent show at the Harmony House during courtyard time. It is always such a fun time for Americans and Jamaicans alike, as brave souls show off legitimate and silly talents alike. While some acts are quite ridiculous, (like for example we had one guy tonight who stopped a moving fan blade with his tongue), others prove to be quite moving.
Our team this week from Charlotte, NC performed a well known drama choreographed to the song “You’re Everything” by Lifehouse to close the show. You can see it for yourself here:

While I have seen this particular skit performed on numerous occasions, it never ceases to reach right into my heart and strike a chord. As a result I cry practically every time I watch it, whether online or in person. Embarrassingly enough, I even cried watching the team practice earlier this week. I guess I just can’t help it…I become so overwhelmed with emotion when I see an accurate reminder of how even though as humans we are in perpetual brokenness, Christ never ceases to stretch His love over us as a shelter.


Something I have been learning this summer is how to let God into my own personal brokenness and pain, and seeing this skit once again has reminded me of just how much He loves me and was willing to sacrifice it all in order for me to live whole. In the end, I have realized that no matter what we try to replace God with in our life it will always fall short because He is all we need to fulfill us.If you are feeling broken, or even if you’re not, I would encourage you to take 5 minutes to watch this powerful skit as a reminder of just how great His love is for us.


Love from Harmons,
Tayler
