Tell Me Again - Skye Peterson

Ever had something that you had to hear a lot of times in order to believe it was true?

"You're beautiful"

"I love you"

"You are valuable"

I think part of our human condition is a distrust in what people say. In what we hear that is good about ourselves. Certainly, it is part of my human condition.

It is so easy for me to get lost in the negative. To lose sight of what God has said that is true and real and lovely. It's so easy for me to have a one track mind about the negative things, the mistakes I have made. They replay over and over again in my head. And yet... what God calls us to is to hear His truth over and over again, on replay - to dwell on that and nothing else.

So tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
The truth that makes me new

So I'll leave you with the same challenge that we stumbled upon in high school small groups tonight in reading Psalm 119. Verse 99 says "I am always thinking of your laws" - are we always thinking of them? Do we see them for the sweetness? "How sweet your words taste to me; they are sweeter than honey." (Psalm 119:103) Honey is pretty sweet. How often do we turn away from God's word because we find it too sweet? Or the sweetness feels tart? Does that sweetness feel fake? Friends - God is that sweet. His word is for you, it is real. To quote Skye's father: "the stories are true". May we dwell on His word, His truth forever.

Tell me again, God. Tell me again!


Deep within the waters
I'm drowning in my heart
Underneath the surface
and the darkest part

I want to know that He is calling
And to know that He is here
Even when I cannot see Him
And I'm in despair

So tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
The truth that makes me new

Every single morning
I cannot see the light
But every day I'm learning
His presence is disguised

I want to know that He is calling
And to know that He is here
Even when I cannot see Him
And I'm in despair

So tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
The truth that makes me new

Tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
The truth that makes me new

I need a little comfort
I need a little hope
I need a little loving
For You to be my hope
