Finding True Belonging: 'Home to You' by Jesse Bless


Jesse Bless's "Home to You" is a heartwarming and spirit-lifting song that touches on three themes: belonging, love, and spiritual discovery. Jesse is a single foster parent, and the inspiration for this song came during a weekend respite placement with a 10-year-old boy in foster care. The boy wanted to write a song about a child who runs away from home, and when he returns, he discovers that there are different people in his home. 

Jesse Bless - Home to YouThe lyrics of this song tell the story of a child searching for a place to call home, a search that also mirrors our own search for refuge and belonging in Christ. The verses start with expressing loneliness and struggle, and the chorus is where hope is ignited. As the song continues, the voice of fear finally quiets as we discover what we're supposed to do. We just have to get "home to You".

"Home to You" is a call to action. We all in some way need to run away from parts of our lives and find our true Home. May you accept the invitation to find your true home in God's arms.

And may the story behind this song also spark conversations about the importance of foster care—providing a safe and loving environment for children in need.

(Related scripture: Matthew 11:28; Isaiah 41:10; Psalm 147:3)

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...

"For The Sake Of My Soul (Upbeat Version)" by Carli Lessing: Finding the Quiet in a Noisy World

"For The Sake Of My Soul (Upbeat Version)" by Carli Lessing is a refreshing song for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the chaos of today's world. Chaos and distractions that can't be stopped at the front door and follow you 24x7. That's what triggered Carli to write this song. Carli shares, "One morning as I was trying to do my quiet time, my phone kept beeping with Whatsapp notifications of my kids' school groups, the church worship band group and social media notifications and I just felt so overwhelmed. I remember thinking, "I don't need more of this, I need a whole lot less". It felt like all these things were just taking me away from the important things - spending time with God and making space for my family."   Carli effectively captures that moment of clarity in her song, when priorities shift from the trivial to the eternal, "I don't need more, I need less." This song isn't about shaming being busy or the tech...
