'For The Sake Of My Soul' by Carli Lessing: Choosing God’s Presence Over Worldly Pleasures


Carli Lessing's song 'For The Sake Of My Soul' can be a bit of a rude awakening for some, because it is all about realizing what is really important in life. The lyrics are teasing you as the listener into taking a closer look at what you're doing throughout the day. Dare to challenge yourself and question how much time you are wasting on endless scrolling, and buying into the latest trends, only to feel that this is increasing your distance to true peace and fulfillment.

Carli Lessing - For The Sake Of My SoulThis song gently points your focus to what your heart needs the most, a deeper connection with God, away from the noise and chaos, including the your social media. Carli calls to prioritize what truly matters, urging you to let go of worldly pursuits that lead nowhere, to turn off the distractions, and to genuinely seek God's presence.

This isn't a new message, but it is a freshing reminder, especially if your in this constant tug-of-war between the world and the Spirit. The push for more, more, more will never cease, but that push for more will never satisfy the deep yearning of our souls for God's eternal peace and love.

Go ahead and give this song a listen. May Carli’s message remind you that sometimes, by giving up on the world’s game, you’re winning much more than you think - a richer relationship with God.

(Related scripture: Philippians 4:8; Matthew 16:26; Luke 9:23)

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
