My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone

Green Day is one of the hottest (maybe the hottest) groups right now on the radios and TVs.  Their newest album contains songs that I find catchy, but as I listen to the lyrics and read the lyrics, it begins to dawn on me that this is where much of America is.

Right now, there are so many people that are walking this same road that Billy Joe sings about and we can make a difference.  What joy do we have that we cannot share it with others?  How much love have we been given that we cannot give to others? 

These lyrics represent somebody searching.  So many people are searching, but searching for what?  They may not know and that is where we can come in.  Lonliness and despair are not from God.  Remember the demon-possessed man in Mark 5.  He too was all alone at the tombs. 

I'm not saying that Billy Joe is demon-possessed, but the lonliness and despair that others are fighting are not from the loving, caring, nurturing God that we serve.  If these lyrics describe your life, then I want to encourage you to press on towards God and you will find him waiting for you.
