If I knew I could, I would...

Five Minute Friday at The Gypsy Mama. I encourage you to check it out.. and join in if you wish! (I'm hooked!)



Prompt: If I knew I could, I would...
GO


If I knew I could, I would.

Simple as that.

No strings attached.
If I knew I could, I would run.
I would dance, I would sing, I would leap.
I would create. I would love. I would soar.

If I knew I could, I would try harder.
I would cast off these chains that weigh me down and hold me back and keep me from being who I am in my inmost parts.

I would laugh. I would grow. I would bring beauty.
I would be a life-giver. I would be a fire-starter.
I would leave no one that I encounter without a taste of love.

But you know what the best part is?

I CAN. No strings attached.

I can. Not because I can, but because He did.

He already went ahead. He made a way, and He makes it possible for me to enter into this abundant, adventurous life through faith.

This beautiful, glorious life.
This full life.
This exchanged life.

It’s calling to me..
It’s whispering.

What am I waiting for?

STOP

Haha thanks for sharing this! I also could have just left the prompt as is. It's so good to know Christ has made it so we don't have to be afraid of things in life.
