Oh man this songs calls ME out! I love it! Okay, I love it now. The first time I heard it I looked around to see if Toby Mac had somehow been a voyeur into my life to that point. I didn't see him but I'm still not sure that he wasn't hiding out somewhere observing me! :)
For the past year or so I've been unable to make eye contact and answer the question, "How are you?" It has created a lot of painful and awkward moments between me and people who genuinely love me and me and people who ask me for less than pure reasons. Sometimes we just enter into, or get hit by, a hard season of life. And I like that this song acknowledges that BUT gives the assurance that it's okay and it'll ease up. It won't be hard forever. And you know what? It isn't hard forever. I've started making eye contact again, I've started being honest again with people who truly want to know and are concerned.
Maybe I've just been too honest or maybe my honesty will spark others to get honest about where they are at themselves. It's okay, allow God to walk you through "it" (whatever it may be for you), you will get back up!
