"For I have been made new"

 

One year and one week ago, one of my best friends { Nate Last } was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  This was one of most amazing experiences I have ever witnessed.  

Last night we were listening to Owl City, when the song "Meteor Shower" came on.  He said that he heard this song for the first time a few days before he was baptized--and that he felt like it was about him.  

I had never heard this song before.  

So we listened to it...and I bawled as Nate sang out the words:

I can finally see 

that You're right there beside me

I am not my own, 

for I have been made new

Please don't let me go, 

I desperately need You

I am not my own, 

for I have been made new 

Please don't let me go, 

I desperately need You

 .........

The song is only 2:14 long, 

but it was one of the best 2 minutes and 14 seconds of my life!

If you haven't heard it...

go take 2 minutes and listen to it.

Try and imagine someone who has finally found what he has been missing/looking for.

Think of the excitement!

Think of the peace!

Think of the hope!

...then try not to cry...
