Beginning today

Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God. For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me. Therefore it there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy be being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 1:27 - 2:5

So, I have recently heard the song I added to my blog, and the words are so powerful! I thought I would get them written down, for the sake of catching it fully.

The Real Me (Natalie Grant)

Foolish heart looks like we're here again Same old game of plastic smile Don't let anybody in Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break? How much will they take before I'm empty? Do I let it show, does anybody know? Chorus: But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within. Unveil ,completely. I'm loosening my grasp. There's no need to mask my frailty Cause you see the real me. Painted on, life is behind a mask. Self-inflicted circus clown I'm tired of the song and dance. Living a charade, always on parade. What a mess I've made of my existence. But you love me even now. And still I see somehow... But you see the real me. Hiding in my skin, broken from within. Unveil me, completely. I'm loosening my grasp. There's no need to mask my frailty, Cause you see the real me. Wonderful, beautiful is what you see When you look at me. You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into A perfect tapestry. I just wanna be me. But you see the real me. Hiding in my skin, broken from within. Unveil me completely. I'm loosening my grasp. There's no need to mask my frailty, Cause you see the real me. And you love me just as I am. Wonderful, beautiful is what you see, When you look at me.

Isn't that beautiful?
