From the Rooftops I proclaim... I AM YOURS!
First things first, here is the link to this amazing song: Rooftops - Jesus Culture (click me!) - Go listen to it...now!
In this post I intend to describe, in a few words, the reason why I'm absolutely in love with this song and why can relate to it so much.
A month (or so) ago, when I was told about the youth fellowship, my initial reaction was, 'Naaah boring. Waste of time.'
I didn't think twice about it. I wasn't going.
Then, a few days later I meet this same person who had told me about this YF, and once again he encouraged me to go.
I knew that deep down I wanted to feel the presence of God once again in my life, however I didn't know how. Yes, I attend the Sunday mass and yes, I pray but something was missing. I could see how peaceful this person was when he talked about this whole YF experience, therefore I decided to give it a try and see how it works out.
It was Tuesday the 28th October when I attended for the first time. I was surprised at the amount of youths that were there. I barely knew anyone but everyone was so friendly and nice. The talk was very intriguing and the songs were catchy.
But, there was this song - Rooftops. At that moment, I could've sworn the lyrics were written for me. Listening to the band playing the song gave me the chills. I could relate to it so much - it was almost as if I was put on the spotlight and the song was being dedicated to me.
It was God's grace that had brought me there on that particular day. Week after week I searched for His Truth, His love, His kindness, His forgiveness. As I said in my last blog post, the Seven weekend was my pivotal point. I felt God's presence in my heart. I still can't put into words how life-changing that moment was. Because of that I'm no longer afraid to 'shout out His name' and to 'share His love across the earth' because I experienced His Love and I want everyone to feel that Love - The One True love!
