It is Time....

It is time... to out for yourself
It is time... to protect one's own health
It is time... to believe in your gifts
It is time... to be your own lift

If you want others to believe in you, you do it first
if you need others to trust you, quench your thirst
for acceptance in this world by accepting the fact
that you aren't the perfect one, so cut yourself some slack

Life isn't easy, trust me I know
it can easily swoop down and crush you in a blow
but if you want to stay off the ground
if you want to stick around
and realize your dream
give yourself a little steam
God will do the rest

I just realized that the only one who can clean you up, fix you right, gain trust, love and live life is God, but you have to trust the gifts that He's put inside you first. As I am writing this, I am looking at the plank in my own eye, the amount of disbelief that I have had in my own abilities, strengths, and endowments. I need you change that and so do you. Whoever decides to read this must understand that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength, right? But I had a thought: strength for what... strength to believe.... to have faith in what He's already given us... I know the road isn't going to be easy and the trials more difficult, but I will succeed because I now understand and I have to remind myself daily that God is on my side to help me believe in me through Him. Take your time and believe in yourself....
