BEATITUDES FOR MISFITS
From Blessed Are the Misfits by Brant Hansen
Blessed are people on the autism spectrum (and those who can relate to them).
Blessed are those who apparently landed not the wrong planet.
Blessed are the unfeeling faithful.
Blessed are the introverted evangelical failures.
Blessed are the people who can’t pray worth a darn.
Blessed are the wounded.
Blessed are those who don’t have amazing spiritual stories.
Blessed are the imposters.
Blessed are the introverts who keep trying.
Blessed are the perpetual strugglers.
Blessed are the people who do church anyway.
Blessed are the melancholy and the depressed.
Blessed are those who don’t take themselves so seriously.
Blessed are the skeptics and those who don’t know where else to go.
Blessed are the unnoticed.
Blessed are the lonely.
Blessed are the misfit royalty.
DOXOLOGY
Eternal Life by SAULT
LYRICS:
I see sadness in your eye
'Cause I know that you don't wanna die
You should try talk to your friends
This is not how your story ends
You should cry right up the sky
'Cause there's no limits to your life
Know it's hard inside your head
'Cause you can't tell if you're alive or dead
Cover me with love, love, love, love, love…
I just wanna see you smile
(Listen to your inner child)
Never too late for your dreams
Even though life's not what it's promised to be
Every day, we shine (Every day, we shine)
'Cause you're the son of the light (Just live your life, live your life)
Lift your spirit high (Lift your spirits high)
'Cause you're the son of the light (For eternal life)
Every day, we shine (Every day, we shine)
'Cause you're the son of the light (Just live your life, live your life)
Lift your spirit high (Lift your spirits high)
'Cause you're the son of the light
For eternal life
Proud of who you are
Only God is close
Lift your spirit high
'Cause you're the sun of the light
Brother, wipe your tears
'Cause I'll never let you down, I swear
Every day, we shine for eternal life
Just reread Michaela Coel’s Misfits this week so misfits have been on my mind. Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏾
Aw..."Blessed are the unnoticed." Jesus sees them and cares for them because He LOVES them. By some inexplicable gift of grace, this truth has been my anchor and opens my eyes. Thank you.
