A Box they give us - an the hope He gives
Afraid that there is a greater potential
a box they give us to condition in
if they do this long enough
they believe that we'll be trapped
trapped in a mindset that they control
No hope
No love
No joy
No ambition
Unless
unless it's ambition to follow their agendas
agaendas to make them dollars
the bottom line is
if it was up to them I would be in a box
a box where I believed what society told me
your worth nothing until you prove yourself
then where would I even begin to feel worthy?
time and time again we spend our days seeking worth
when
worth won't come from society
they'll expect us to do more
and yet
they return us with hurling insults before we even step out the door
we climb the ladder
succeed
do it all
to find ourselves empty.
When all of a sudden
our life turns upside down
we lose it all
now back to ground zero,
but the funny thing is
it forces us to find our worth.
Because worth doesn't come from society
it comes from the author of love
God
And,
whether or not all believe in theology or the existance of He that made them
All people
at one point or another
when their at their very lowest
call out to this magnificent creator
who
with His poems
spoke them into the world
and they ask
they ask for any sign
any sign of hope
any sign if their loved
any sign why their here
the answer is
JESUS
He gave his life for you and me
He gave us love before we were even born
He gave us hope before we were formed
concieved
or a twinkle in an eye
He loves us
He calls us worthy
He has a place in His heart for you and me
so when family betrays us
friends abandone us
co-workers gossip
your at your lowest
and no person is worthy of your trust
He is there for you
and has loved you throughout your whole life
before
and
beyond
His heart aches for you
He is the friend you never had
the dad that won't put you down or leave
the love you've been searching for
and purpose in your life that won't fail.
So,
when "they" tell me I have to fit in their box
I think of where my worth comes from
The God that helped a scronny 13 year old boy defeat a 10 ft Philistine
The God that parted the Jordan
The God that fed 5,000
The God that set me free
The God that still moves today
and through Him nothing is impossible
I still have faith
even in this present day
I beleive in what He says about me
Not what "they"
society
has tried to put on me for 18 some years
that there is no hope for people like me
I admit I have faults
I admit I fail to believe in myself
and families aren't always the supportive rock we need
but God
not once
not once
not once, has He ever failed me
instead of a box
He gave me freedom
Freedom to have a mind of my own
to decide if I want to follow such a wonderful purpose
or
listen to society
when all they tell me is
"your not good enough"
"you need to live for yourself and make more money"
when all that will do is leave me empty
instead of a box
He gives me
a transformed mind
to think bigger
because He says
through Him I can do impossible things
or at least
things society deems impossible
I love being limitless and free
I hate the box of society
so off I throw it as far as the eye can see
into eternity
It's gone!
I'm free!
I'm free!
I have joy
I have purpose
I have peace
I have a God who loves me
and
there are no limits
no limits?
what next?
anything is possible now
wow, I've never felt so free!!!
it's so great to be alive!
I have to tell someone else about this liberty!!!
I am free!
I am free!
no longer will I waste my precious life listening to society
I am free!
If you feel societies box enclosing in on you
be free
call on JESUS
