God in everything

Lately, I've been listening to the newest album from mewithoutYou, and if you've ever listened to them, you know they've got some pretty powerful lyrics. I could probably write several posts on their songs, but I'll just stick to one song in particular that has been running through my head quite a bit lately.

In everywhere we look
Allah, Allah, Allah
In everyone we meet
Allah, Allah, Allah
In every blade of grass
Allah, Allah, Allah

It doesn't matter what you've done...
what effect is without a cause?
so what does it matter what you think you've done?
now, lay your faithless head down
in neccessity's Cotton Hand
there's a Love that never changes
no matter what you've done

-Allah Allah Allah

It's funny to me that I can accept God's forgiveness for myself, and then turn around and be so critical of other people. I'm no better than these other people and they deserve God's forgiveness just as much as I do. God is in everything and everyone, we just need to stop and notice that. When we do, I think we'll see people as God does.
