I Can't


The little toddler shouts,

"I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF"

&

you let him

&

it takes time

&

you wait patiently

Until

he finally did it all by himself.

It may not be the right way,

but you let him because he said,

"I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF"

The adult shouts,

"I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF"

&

HE

lets

You & I~

even though it takes time~

yet

HE

waits patiently

&

waits

&

waits

UNTIL

the adult

looks up and says,

"I CAN'T DO IT ALL BY MYSELF"

because

things just aren't working out the way you thought they would,

but you had to do it your way.

Isn't that what FREEDOM is~

To do what you want to do

your way~

even if

HE

lets you do it?

FREE WILL~

Eve ate the apple

FREE WILL~

David slept with Bathsheba

FREE WILL~

Jonah ran the other way

FREE WILL~

Got some people in trouble.

FREE WILL~

Gets me in trouble

when

"I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF"~

is my mantra.

FREE WILL~

"I CAN'T DO IT ALL BY MYSELF"

because

there is a better

WAY~

“Don’t look for shortcuts to GOD The market is flooded with surefire,

easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time.

Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do.

The way to life—to GOD!—is vigorous and requires total attention" (Matthew 7:13014 The Message)

From RAGS~ MY WILL

To RICHES~ HIS WILL

HIS WAY is the only WAY.
