"Invisible People" by Scott Declare Jr.: Seeing Beyond the Surface


"Invisible People" by Scott Declare Jr. is a confronting and reflective song inspired by real-life encounters at a Nashville conference. Initially feeling out of place, Scott met Willy, a man with muscular dystrophy who dreams of using his gifts to help others despite his challenges. His outlook on life shook Scott to the core. Scott shares, "All I could think is here is a guy who has every reason to complain about the cards he was dealt and yet all he wants to do is help people every day that he has left." This encounter opened Scott's eyes to the overlooked beauty in those "invisible people" around him, and sparked this journey of listening to their untold stories. 

Scott Declare Jr. - Invisible People"Who are the beautiful, invisible people? The different, misfits we don't understand. Under our noses where nobody notices. Who are the beautiful, invisible people?"

Scott touches on some of the untold stories, "I met a man we'll call him Simon // Rough around the edges like a diamond." Our world today most likely will dismiss him, but his story holds unseen depth… if we would just take time to listen. Then there's a woman in her 60s, silenced by years of pain. "Life made her think she wasn't pretty // Her parents told her she was worthless," until love restored her voice, "Now she sings like she's enough." And Willy, smiling despite his prognosis, declares "… he wants to use whatever time's left // To live out love until his last breath." 

"Who are the beautiful, invisible people?" Are you able to look beyond the appearances and value each person's inherent worth? "If I could only hear your story // Your loved, your beautiful, and you matter." 

This song is a call to compassion and connection. We are all children of God! If you're ready to see people through God's eyes, press play, and let the song inspire you to change the way you look at the world.

(Related scripture: 1 Samuel 16:7; Matthew 25:40; James 2:5)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

"Empty Hand" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Embracing God’s Presence as the Ultimate Gift

The idea behind Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new song, "Empty Hand," was triggered by a deeply personal season of infertility. One of their writers, Jennifer, had a vision where God was extending His hand to her, not holding the longed-for child, but an empty hand offering something much greater… His presence in the waiting. This vision became the center of this song and is an important message for anyone who is holding onto a wish/longing for a miracle that hasn't come to pass.  In this song we hear the message that comes along with His extended hand. "I've been watching as you've been waiting / As you focus on your lack," reminding us that it's so easy to get trapped in our pain when prayers don't seem to be answered. It's a pain that distracts and causes us to forget that He's "… more than enough." God already has a miracle for you, "I'm holding out My hand to you // Don't think because it's empty // I h...
