| | As I was reading Ravi Zacharias' autobiography. I couldn't seem to get over the part of his failed suicide attempt and the transformation:
It was also a huge paradigm shift for me to suddenly see life - my own and others' - through the eyes of God. For years, I had looked at life the way a kid might work through a puzzling, new toy, taking it apart but not knowing how to put it back together again. He wonders, 'What makes this thing tick?' So he takes a screwdriver and tries to unpack it, but with each piece he removes, it makes less sense.
Only Jesus could legitimately explain the multifarious strands of human personality locked with me. He could explain my emotional life, my actions, and my reactions. He could explain why I longed for human touch, and why it was actually the touch of soul that I was ultimately after. Without Christ, I still would have the gnawing undercurrent that had run through everything in my life and that had led me to the tragic choice that very nearly brought me to an end.
Who am I? I could now answer it. "I am yours, Oh Lord."
I'll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what you have required.
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
