For a long time I identified as
Nobody
Nobody important
Nobody special
Nobody significant
When I looked around me I felt so out of place
with the greatness that surrounded me
Sure I could write
but not as good as her
Of course I can sing
But nothing like him
I'm not ugly
But I might as well be when
I stand next to her
My inner dialogue was not limited to my thoughts
It was evident in my prayers
God make me better
So that I'm worthy of the company I keep
(Sidebar:
It's worth saying
that the manifestation of God's hand in our lives
is subject to
the conditions of our blessing
Which is to say, that if God requires fasting and praying as a discipline
to prepare our hearts for what He lovingly has prepared for us
Then we can not expect to acquire this blessing
without first following obedience
Which more than most anything else
equals to our willingness to be obedient to
His Word)
So if God has called me victorious
If He has declared that He will complete every work He's begun in me
And the gift of His Spirit that dwells within me
is decidedly Greater
Than who am I to decide otherwise?
To know God
is to love God
is to obey God
in all things
To walk in God's calling is to accept that I am
adopted into royalty
and the character of who God's chosen
are called to.
Greater
