Paul Young just shared this song lyric from Leonard Cohen - it made my day. You'll enjoy it.

"The Anthem"     

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything

That's how the light gets in.

The birds they sang

at the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.
Ah the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything

That's how the light gets in.

by Leonard Cohen 

So, in light of this, I have a few questions for you:

  1. What are the bells in your life that can still ring?
  2. What is that perfect offering that you've been trying to give God?
  3. What is the crack in your life?
  4. Are you allowing the light to go through that crack?
