Not sure if you have heard this song yet but it's pretty cool. "Awake My Soul" by Mumford and Sons.
I'm sure you can interpret the song a few different ways. I take it as a story of a man who's begins to discover the empty promises of the devil. "I struggle to find any truth in your lies" "Har Har....." The devil laughs when we fall for his lies. At the same time he's taking an honest look at himself. "And now my heart stumbles on things I dont know, this weakness I feel I must finally show". He finally makes the cry "Awake My Soul" asking God to see the truth as it is. There comes a point in your life that you take joy in accepting your weakness. Learning to trust in God is an awakening. "Awake My Soul for you were made to meet your maker" "where you invest your love, you invest your life".

Strange Way? On Life's Agenda
Here's another strange way, a paradox of christianity.
The basic christian theme that you have to give up your life to gain it!
So often we are preoccupied with our own projects and plans, goals and agendas. We work so diligently to create a life that we think will make us happy. We make ourselves the center of our own lives, everything we do is centered around ourselves and what we think is best.
Thru the eyes of the christian, that's not only folly but funny.
It's precisely when we give up our agendas and allow Gods plans to be the center of our life, that we experience the fullness of joy this life has to offer.
Walking the journey of life with God at the helm is the only way to go! He will show you a way that is higher than you could ever imagine. He will take you to places you never thought you could go! He will do things thru you that will leave you plum speechless.
Thru the eyes of the christian, God knows what's best for us. Give your life to Him so you can experience the love He's always intended for you from the beginning. He wants to change the world thru you!
Give up your plans and see what God has in store for you! Take it one day at a time!
Matthew 16:25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.
