Run Wild!!!!!
My new favorite song, Run Wild, Live Free by for King & Country.
Run Wild, Live Free - YouTube
At first I just liked it because of it's beat, and the catchiness of it. (Yes, I know that's not a word!) But I looked up the lyrics and was blown away by it. What do you think when someone says, "Run wild, live free"? My first thought is not a good one, that's how I've spent my life - running! Horrible day, I'd run. Fight with husband or other family member, Run AWAY! Anything could cause me to Run Away, that's how I dealt with my problems. I couldn't face anything. Unfortunately, I still have this problem, but it is getting better. (I hope!)
So, anyway, almost every part of this song reminds me of my life!
"Are the walls to lock you in or to keep others away
And if the doors were to be opened would you leave or would you stay."
That's a great question, for so many years, as soon as that door was open, I would leave. Where was my focus?
Then the chorus comes along;
"To every soul locked in a cage
In the prison of your PAST MISTAKES
No, there's no time left to waste
Yeah, you can make your great escape
We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild"
Letting go of my past mistakes has been so hard for me. Why would God forgive me? I have to keep telling myself that He loves me and that's why He's forgiven me. But, Love is a hard concept for me, so this has been a difficult thing for me to understand. I just can't be okay with it all, but I'm getting there........again.......
Then there's the Rap part;
"Some people run from fear, some from their own reflection
Some people run their mouth, some people run their house
Ruling with the heart of a tyrant
Some people run their block, bust shots with 4-4-5 and
That's the environment, how we were raise
Living like lions, but trapped in a cage
Back to a imago day with the blood of a king and the heart of a slave
Don't you wanna run"
What do you run from? My list of things that I don't run from might be shorter than what I do run from. Like I've posted before though, my focus has got to change! Instead of Running away from God and what He wants me to do, I need to Run to Him! I need to "Love Strong!"
What do you think freedom in Christ means? Can we truly live free if we have Jesus as our Savior? What does it mean to "Run wild"? Because I have absolutely no clue!!!!!!
Ok, so I've had some conversations about this and I think I might have finally figured it out! But the only thing is this also means I have more stuff to work on!!! So, as long as you are in God's will, you can "Run wild" because your thoughts/wants/needs/desires in life will line up with His! What God wants will be your true running place! Jesus died on the cross for me, so my sins, my past are all forgiven, Jesus paid the price for all of that! He loves me more than anyone else in my life can! This is a huge struggle for me, I hope not forever! I hope this makes sense.
Listen to the song, tell me what you think! Please!
Quoted at the end of "O God Forgive Us"
"Run wild; to risk everything, to hold nothing back, to lay it all on the line, your reputation, your success, your comfort, it's that moment when fear is overcome by faith.
Live free, it's not the liberty to do whatever you want, whenever, wherever you want, but rather it's living in accordance to the author of humanity and finding freedom by connecting with the creator who conceived you, let the light flood into your eyes for the first time feeling the blood course through your veins, finding the truest version of yourself by knowing the one who knows you even better then you know yourself
Love strong, because you were first love, because without love we all perish, because the earth and the stars can and will pass away, but love, love will always remain"
