You don't have to hide. You don't have to anymore..

I've been listening to Christian music lately. and I learned they're not that bad after all. I thought Christian music would be boring, and songs that are sang in church but I was perfectly mistaken. Indeed there are different types of Christian music and I'm learning to love them. People who listen to Christian music can relate to it, once they listen to the lyrics carefully. One of the songs that I love is entitled Hide by Joy Williams. The lyrics goes likes this:

To anyone who hides behind a smile 

To anyone who holds their pain inside 

To anyone who thinks they're not good enough 

To anyone who feels unworthy of love 

To anyone who ever closed the door 

Closed their eyes and locked themselves away 

You don't have to hide 

You don't have to hide anymore 

You don't have to face this on your own 

You don't have to hide anymore 

So come out, come out, come out wherever you are 

To anyone who's tryin' to cover up their scars 

To anyone who's ever made a big mistake 

We've all been there, so don't be ashamed 

Come out, come out and join the rest of us 

You've been alone for way too long 

And if you feel like no one understands 

Come to the One with scars on His hands 

'Cause He knows where you are, where you've been 

His scars will heal you if you let Him

I can relate to this song, especially on the first paragraph. I've been facing hardships these past few days, and I tend to lock myself away from the world. I've been thinking that I was always left out, No one is there to help me in my times of need (financially and emotionally) and I'm not important to anyone. But I've learned that I'm selfish if I were to think that way. There are far more greater problems in the outside world than mine. And I've learned, "why be problematic when there are solutions for those things". I am thankful that I've been making new friends lately, and they reached for my hand when no else did. I got this thing for listening to Christian music from one of my friends. And I love the songs. I've learned that I can be close to God while listening to Christian music. There is still hope. I'm not alone in this world. Coz there will always be one person staying by my side and that is GOD. He will never leave me behind and I know that for sure. He will always help me at my times of need. I am leaving all hurtful things behind and now I'm starting anew. And to do this I need to breathe new air, new things, new people, new places, etc. 

Why be jealous of them, when they can be jealous of you. Why be problematic, when others have far more greater problems than you? Why think that you're the only one suffering, when all people are suffering in the world? Why hide what you feel? - by Airamana
