Hearts Safe

I can't remember if I ever told you guys about my trip to Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. It was practically an age ago. But that's not why I'm writing. I was in Washington and we were staying at my grandpa's farm. My brother (2nd oldest) drove up with his girlfriend and her daughter from Oregon for the day. That was when I found out in the most awkward way possible that my brother was not a christian. It's heart breaking, knowing that, as of right now, I won't be with my brother for eternity. So I got home and I bought Tenth Avenue North's new album, the Light Meets the Dark. And now, every time I think about my brother I listen to the song Hearts Safe. It's my prayer for him. That some day he'll notice that there is something different about us, that he's missing something crucial. It makes me sad. To think that maybe I won't be enough to let him know. And then I listen to Strong Enough to Save. :) And it makes me realize that I am one small person who believes in one big God who's strong enough to save my brother.

Dear Lord,
Why? I'm asking you why? If the sheep know his voice then tell me what is the choice/For the ones who haven't heard and have no need to rejoice/Father, help me understand/'Cause I am just like him and Lord he's just like me/We came from the same town and the same families/But now he, he just won't understand/Please Lord open up his eyes/Can You open up these eyes?/And why? I'm asking you why?
Yet you'll break/open the sky to save/those who cry out your name/the One the wind and waves obey/you're strong enough to save him.
Amen.
