We were never promised a perfect life, a life free from shame, guilt, loneliness or even pain. But we have HOPE because even in the darkest times, we are not alone. He erases our shame. He makes us new. God sent His Son Jesus to “address the mess” that we are. Jesus IS our Light Breaking Through!

Last Thanksgiving, one of my dearest family members—an outspoken atheist—challenged my faith, questioning why I believe in heaven and devote so much of my life to an abstract reality. I simply smiled and said, “I find joy in dreaming my life away.” That night, I poured my heart into this song.

“Four Nine Zero” is my original song about forgiveness based on the Bible verse Matthew 18:21-22 where Jesus said “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.” Seventy times seven is four-hundred ninety, and that’s where the title came from. I hope you enjoy, God bless!
