"Turn Around"

Driving across town I heard this song titled, Turn Around, playing on the radio. It immediately touched my heart.

Here are the words:

Young man on the side of the road
Lost and beat up with no where to go
Smells like a hangover from days ago
He does what he can to survive

Single mom with a dead end job
Ninety hour week just to keep what she's got
With the bills that add up and down she's caught
She does what she can to survive

Well, let me say
That love won't take away the pain
But don't be afraid
'Cause it will never walk away

(Chorus)
If you're scared that you don't matter
If you're lost and need to be found
If you're looking for a Savior
All you gotta do is turn around

Some turn to a bottle
Some turn to a drug
Some turn to another's arms
But it seems like it's never enough

Well I won't say, that you will ever fail again
But there is grace
To wash away your every sin

Chorus

No one listens to you anymore
And your heart has broken down
You don't need to move
Love has come to you
All you gotta do is turn around
All you gotta do is turn around
Turn around

You don't have to take the broken road
You can turn around and come back home
(X3)

Chorus

No one listens to you anymore
And your heart has broken down
You don't need to move
Love has come to you
All you gotta do is turn around
All you gotta do is turn around

-- Song by Matt Mayer, the album The Love In Between

We don't have to take the broken road!

God is powerful and active in the world and in our lives. If things seem bad,
it does not mean God is not working, he can and does turn things around, often in a
sudden way. Therefore we need to have positive forward looking attitudes and not
negative, pessimistic and fatalistic ones
