Son-sun Set

 

 

"Don't let the sun set on your heavy heart

Forgiveness can find you wherever you are

Let go of your pride and step you from the dark

Don't let the sun set on your heavy heart." -Sidewalk Prophets

 

       When you can't sleep, there's something weighing you dowm. Maybe you physically feel some extra weight tugging at you. When I was little, my dad would always want to change my bed sheets after I took a bath, so I wouldn't have to sleep on dirty sheets right after getting clean. I never liked the idea because it took too long in my mind to put together a clean resting place. Though I never admitted to it, I did find it a very nice feeling to be tucked inside a clan bed. God is our resting place and we should want to get rid of the dirt we bring; we should want to have clean sheets. Don't be afraid to admit it. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Repenting holds growth and wisdom and maturity--not shame. Don't let the sun set on your heavy heart. Allow yourself to sleep. Stop holding yourself back. Don't let the Son set on your heavy heart.
