    I wish people would stop criticizing this song. The purpose of it is admitting to living in your "own little world", and asking God to bring you out of it, and showing you the bigger picture in life, and your full potential. To start considering things beside yourself. It's honestly opened my eyes to so many things.

    What you have written..."we cannot stop sinning without God"...is absolutely true. We cannot. "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible."
    So, by God's grace (that is, enabling power), we are made capable of turning from all WILLFUL (on purpose) sin,. And since we are made capable by the power of the Holy Spirit, we MUST turn from all willful sin, or we will be rejected on judgement day. "He who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of Life." Amen!

    THOS not only applies to Christians. I'm an atheist, but I love this song. We all need to step out of our comfort zones and do something for another. Our individual lives don't matter. We really matter when we all stick together and coexist. It's not even just about tolerating one another either. There are many starving, many who are abused, teens who come home with red eyes and the smell of smoke on their clothes, children who are afraid of their parents because they hit them, people in Africa who can't even drink clan water, one of the most plentiful things in the world. How sad is that, that some can't even get a grasps on the most plentiful thing? There are people who have no future and a bad past. People sitting on the street dangling their tin cups about, asking for just change, and so many pass them by, they don't even care. And that's sad, that this is what we call society. We all are too busy tightening our ties and putting on watches, driving around and having fun to care about anyone else. What do those beggars on the street have to go home to? They don't have homes. They have nothing but you and the clothes on their back, and they're only counting on you. They've given up any hope of living a life. They're lives and futures aren't in their hands anymore. They depend only on you now. So many of us just ignore the bad things in the hopes that they will just go away with time. They won't. It only takes a few dimes, a comment like "I love you" or "you are special and you are cared about". That's all we need, just to set aside differences and come together as a whole.
    Only then will out world be a good place.

As always, I gasped in excitement and praised God that the song came on because I wanted to listen to it. Later that day I stopped at a red light and looked to my left, seeing a woman with a cardboard sign. My mind was blown.

Matthew West really delivers the message of helping other people. He is so inspiring, He lets people know how there is wayyy more stuff that you can do than what you are doing. Our whole generation should listen to this song. Thank you Matthew West for helping so many people and myself get through tough situations. You are amazing! :)

    whenever i see this video i honestly think that the widow was portrayed as an angel here on Earth to help others, like that guy, learn to reach out to others, seeing how he came to the same corner stop at the end and she wasnt there yet her sign was in his passenger seat....which gets me thinking...wat if some of the people we see everyday are actually angels in disguise reaching out for us to get us to "help" so we can be lead to those with greater need?...and we pass them right by without a thought....

    I'm deeply atheistic, and I say that here just to lend emphasis to the fact that I think that this song's message is very powerful and positive and that it's the sort of thing that could make a small but real and beneficial difference to the world, and that (less importantly but still importantly) Matthew West is a very talented musician. I don't even slightly share West's faith, but I can agree from a secular standpoint that this song has a very good message and also that it's good musically.

      I find that many Christian songs are well written and can be enjoyed from a secular perspective. Mind you, I said 'many', not 'all'; see "I'm No Kin to the Monkey" for a simultaneously hilarious and aggravating example of why I carefully avoided the word 'all'.

      Duck King Well, that was indeed supposed to be a "religious joke". Even if I liked it in a church, and maybe I would, if I found the right people, it would still not be able to change my mind.

Yes, I love Christ but right now I'm in a place where I feel restricted to just study in school. I have no room to move or do the things that I want to do. I pray that I can see the world the way God does.

    There is so many people in our lives, that need to see God's love and grace. I think if each of showed God's love by praying more for other people and encouraging others. Father, break my heart for what breaks Yours
    Give me open hands and open doors
    Put Your light in my eyes and let me see
    That my own little world is not about me...

    In my own little world it hardly ever rains
    I've never gone hungry or always felt safe
    I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet
    In my own little world
    Population me
    I try to stay awake 'til the Sunday morning church
    I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give 'til it hurts
    And I turn off the news when I don't like what I see
    Yeah it's easy to do when it's
    Population me
    What if there's a bigger picture
    What if I'm missing out
    What if there's a greater purpose
    I could be living right now
    Outside my own little world
    Stopped at a red light, looked out my window
    I saw a carboard sign, said 'Help this homeless widow'
    Just above this sign was the face of a human
    I thought to myself, 'God, what have I been doing?'
    So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye
    Oh how many times have I just passed her by
    I gave her some money then I drove on through
    In my own little world there's
    Population two
    What if there's a bigger picture
    What if I'm missing out
    What if there's a greater purpose
    I could be living right now
    Outside my own little world
    Ooh, my own little world
    Ooh
    Whoa, whoa, whoa
    Yeah, yeah
    I'm going to break my heart for what breaks Yours
    Give me open hands and open doors
    Put Your light in my eyes and let me see
    That my own little world is not about me
    What if there's a bigger picture
    What if I'm missing out
    What if there's a greater purpose
    That I could be living right now
    I don't wanna miss what matters
    I wanna be reaching out
    Show me the greater purpose
    So I can start living right now
    Outside my own little world, ooh
    My own little world, yeah
    My own little world, ooh

I've only been listening to Christian Music since October and just got saved in Jan. 13, 2013! Greatest day of my life! I thought giving up my old music would be hard, but not when you have great music like this to take the place of what I used to think was great music! Thank you God for your Son, Jesus Christ my savior and yours!

    hmmm i heard this at youth group, i must say the church today, doesn't do enough we just sit around in our churches, behind those 4 walls sing, listen to a message, go home and that it. We have enough money to protest things that don't matter on the long run, but we don't listen to christ, and help those who are in need read Matthew 25... I'm not prefect myself but i'm still young i can't really do much yet

      I'm not perfect and have much to learn and do but age is no excuse, as harsh as children can be they are one of the greatest examples of how humanity and society cant be that bad. When a 5 year old offers a toy to someone who doesn't have one or comforts the crying baby they didn't do much but they made a world of difference. That being said you may be young but you can still change the world.

And fuck Christians, they didn't seem to have much of a problem during the Inquisition. Convert or die. So if you didn't believe in Christianity, were of another faith or didn't believe in bullshit period? You were fucked

  • @Dynamicfaithfullove
    @Dynamicfaithfullove 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love isn't about physical intamacy, it's about caring for everyone like they are a human chosen by God. because we forget that that's what everyone is. Every single human being on this earth was carefully molded by God. Everyone has a purpose. Even the people we dislike. Convicts, the mentally handycapped, janitors, that creepy old man across the street who glares at people through his windows, they are all created by God and loved by him. So don't lose a single opportunity to show God's love :)

  • @1997mitza
    @1997mitza 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    When you study God's word and really give God your all, that changes. He makes you feel loved and he changes the way you are. In the Bible God asks us to let go of what other people think of us; to stop trying to please others and to set our goals on pleasing Him. A church is just a building and though people can judge you, the one that matters is God. He is a perfect judge and He always forgives us our sins. We have to repent and ask for forgiveness but God always forgives us and loves us.

    This is a great song. Let it sink in, and ask God to show you where He wants you to lend a hand. Ask Him daily, and be quiet, and listen for him to speak to you. The answer might not come as a thunderbolt (though it may); you may have to be patient for His response. But seek Him, and He will let you know.

    Never seen the video, it adds so much more to the song. Giving money to a homeless person doesn't necessarily solve their problems, I say this because of actually trying to help some. You got to be willing to come along side them and take them to places where they can get help.
