The Cost

This song came from a place I spent years trying to hide from. The loneliness. The questions. The pain I carried after losing people I loved, battling addiction, fighting through cognitive MS, heartbreak, rejection, fear, and nights where I honestly didn’t know if I could keep going. I spent years searching for love in people, approval, relationships, distractions, and anything that could quiet the emptiness inside of me. But every road eventually led me back to the same truth… we were never meant to carry this life without God. “The Cost” is about wrestling with faith while still choosing to reach for it anyway. It’s about realizing that love isn’t weak, grace isn’t fake, and pain doesn’t mean God abandoned you. Sometimes the breaking is what finally opens our hearts enough to receive the kind of love that can actually heal us. Not perfect love from broken people, but the kind of love God teaches us to give one another through forgiveness, honesty, humility, sacrifice, and compassion. I know what it feels like to question everything. I know what it feels like to sit in silence asking God where He is while your world falls apart around you. But I also know what it feels like to survive something you thought would destroy you… and realize there was still a spark inside your soul worth saving. If you’re struggling right now… please hear me when I say this: Your pain does not disqualify you from love. Your past does not make you unworthy of grace and no matter how far you think you’ve fallen, God can still reach you there. Maybe love was never wasted. Maybe we just forgot where love truly comes from. This song is for the brokenhearted, the doubters, the addicts, the lonely, the betrayed, the anxious, the exhausted, and the people silently fighting battles nobody else can see. You are not alone.
