Different by Micah Tyler

"I wrote the song "Different" a few years ago, but I feel like the Lord is teaching it to me in a whole new way right now. A few months ago, we found out that my grandmother has blood cancer. As hard as it's been to watch her lose her hair as she takes her treatments, her faith has remained intact. A few weeks later, Hurricane Harvey came for my hometown. In two days, 44 inches of rain poured on my house. We have been in the process of replacing the flooring and re-leveling our foundation; we keep waiting on things to get back to normal. Then, just a few weeks ago, we found out that my little brother Daniel has stage four colon cancer. After the shock and the tears, my family is preparing to fight by his side as he gets ready to start chemo. 

In the midst of all this, the prayer that I kept praying was, "Jesus, can you just change these things? Can you stop the cancer? Can you stop the storms?" But He's chosen not to stop these things just yet. I'm finding out that sometimes the best question is not, "Jesus, can you change these things around me?" but instead "God, can You change me so that I can handle the things that you're walking me through?" 

So I keep singing and praying and believing the words of "Different," because I know that He is changing me. That's making all the difference. In my own weakness, the Lord's strength is made perfect in me."

Song: Different
By: Micah Tyler.

This is the very beginning from the official video of this song.

It's sad and heartbroken to feel that way, but Jesus never promised to all of us that, following him would be easier, not at all and too many things happen out of our control because our world is corrupt. 

The human being is too greedy to think further than oneself and loves money which is the root of all kinds of evil. But tell yourself every day that money can't buy everything, much less happiness. 

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
