'Nostalgia' by LILLI - Missing the 80's and looking forward to Heaven


LILLI released an interesting debut track called 'Nostalgia'. A song that switches back and forth between the 80's and a longing for Heaven. At its core, the lyrics are about a longing for a place we haven't seen but know exists - our heavenly home. While LILLI misses the 80's, the key message isn't about looking back to the past, it is more about feeling connected to a glorious future that we've been promised. 

LILLI - Nostalgia (AD Radio Edit)The lyrics manages to captures this longing by speaking of a familiar unfamiliarity - like wearing clothes still new to us or exploring roads not yet traveled. It invites us into a shared experience of anticipation for what's beyond. A reminder of a promise that is so easy to forget in the hustle of life, our final & grand homecoming. 

When you first listen, the song sounds like a trip down memory lane, looking back at past memories, but here is the kicker… it's about looking forward, to future memories and feeling that gentle pull of eternity that we all have inside us. 

Curious? Go ahead and give 'Nostalgia' a listen. Let it be a reminder of the heavenly home that is waiting for us, and ignite a desire to prepare for that home. See this song as a compass that is pointing us to the eternal, and encourages us to keep our hearts anchored in His love and His promise of what's to come.

(Related scripture: Hebrews 11:14–16; Philippians 3:20-21; 2 Corinthians 5:2)

'The Fall' by Josh Wright: Embracing Healing Through Pain

Josh Wright's new song, 'The Fall,' is about the dark and heavy moments that often come with loss, grief, and sin. Most of us have been there, feeling a deep sense of guilt and shame. But that is not where God wants us to linger! Yes, it's important to understand the consequences of our actions, but there is also a next chapter. God wants us to 'get up' and 'keep going.'  Josh beautifully sings about this next chapter in 'The Fall.' With lyrics like, 'I didn't want the valley, I didn't want the dark,' you can feel the pain and reluctance that Josh experienced. He continues, 'Nobody wants to stumble or ever hit the ground. Nobody wants to have to hurt for healing to be found.'   Josh emphasizes that although we're not looking for pain, it does play an important part in understanding God's love. If there is no contrast, e.g., no pain, then how will we be able to appreciate God's love and plan for us? This is how
