Music Speaks

In one of their older songs, the band Switchfoot sings:

I hope to lose myself for good
I want to find it in the end
Not in me
In You
In You, is all I know
Is all I know
In You

The "You" here is referring to God, and is also the title of the song. It echoes Matthew 16:25-26, the message of this blog.
I think that too often people, especially teens and young adults, go out to try to find themselves, when, really, we should lose ourselves for Christ. We should give him everything and be vessels for his use.

So, like Jon Foreman sings and St. Matthew writes, go lose yourself. There's no sense in trying to find yourself when you are who you are in Christ.
