Therefore...

I knew that I could not move the Mountain

Therefore I ran towards it with all of my might

I knew that I could not pass through the Valley

Therefore I entered it with full peace of mind

I knew that I could not reach the Heavens

Therefore I lifted my arms to draw near

I knew that I could not love the Earth well

Therefore I embraced it as a loved one so dear

I knew that I could not be a Mother

Therefore I allowed children to populate my space

I knew that I could not be a Dreamer

Therefore I dreamt dreams when dreaming was unsafe

I knew that I could not be a good Friend

Therefore I gathered them around me in droves

I knew that I could not be a Lover

Therefore I loved deep and committed to growth

I knew that I could not fight the Battle

Therefore I fought a good fight for this ground

I knew that I could not be a Winner

Therefore I adorned myself with His Winner’s Crown

I knew that I could not be Patient

Therefore I patiently waited for grace

I knew that I could not walk in the Spirit

Therefore I spiritually walked out my faith

I knew that I could not attain Eternity

Therefore I lived like Eternity was now here

I knew that I could not purchase Holiness

Therefore Holiness became the only clothes I would wear

I knew that I could not receive Salvation

Therefore I opened my hands for a gift

I knew that I could not love a Savior

Therefore I lived on the love that was His

The whole story is true because He said so.  I live because He said so.  My heart is new because He said so.  I am because He said so.  It’s not based on what I can or cannot do.  I just live what He says.  This is faith: to live like He said so.
