Hawaii-born artist, Thunderstorm Artis tops MEL charts this week with his latest hit Useless. This song paints a vivid picture of what the meaning of life looks like before Grace. Thunderstorm understands that strength, beauty, and creativity apart from God amount to noise and motion with no melody. Like a piano with broken strings, life may look complete on the outside, but nothing rings true until the Maker tunes the heart. Ultimately, it is a song of redemption, a reminder that we are not made to perform our own purpose, but to be vessels of the One who gives us meaning. It’s a gentle but powerful truth: when we lose everything but Jesus, that’s when we finally discover we were never useless, we were simply waiting to be used by Him.
