Stars

I recently got the new Switchfoot album and have really fallen in love in the acoustic version of "Stars." Probably because the acoustic version sounds cool, I absolutely love acoustic guitars, and because I can relate to the song. I'm one of those people that everytime I get out of my car and it's dark, I look up. That's just how I am. When I pull into the drive way and shut the door I love to just look up at the stars. Have you ever noticed how incredibly beautiful stars are? There's not a lot of light near where I live and some nights it literally takes my breath away. I think that's the one place I can always find God. I sometimes struggle with not searching for God in the right way, or for the right reasons. And that frustrates me, because then I don't find him and feel deserted. But for some reason, that diamond speckled sky always makes me think of how awesome God is. The chorus of "Stars" says:
I've been thinking 'bout everyone
everyone, you look so empty/lonely
but when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself

That just seems very applicable to me. I encourage you to go and seek out God through his creation, not what you expect from him. How do you understand an artist's style? You look at their artwork.
