Be U
I really enjoy reading poetry. The poetic flow of Countee Cullen touches my heart and his words flow from my lips like a sweet melody. Do you know who you are Who you really are
Do you know you can be What do you want to be If you try to be What you can be
Do you know where you're going Where you're really going
Do you know you can learn
What you want to learn
If you try to learn
What you can learn
Cullen's words cause me to pause and ask a series of questions to you my sister.
Have you sat down lately and thought about your God given gifts? Rather than comparing your life to others.
Seriously, who are you beyond the beautiful garments you wear, the stylish shoes you strut down the street in and the hair upon your head?
What's in your heart? Dig a little deeper, what's in there? Are you investing in the gifts that lie deep within you?
Lovely lady, God is calling you out to be a leader, pioneer, actress, songwriter, choreographer, author and much more!
What will you do now?! You can no longer hide behind your mask. It is time to rise and take your rightful place in the kingdom of God.
Will you pretend like you don't hear me or will you take action?
What gifts are you fearful of sharing with others? Are you ashamed of who God made you? Well, don't be ashamed nor should you hide. Come out of the cave, come from behind that confident smile, be BOLD, be DARING, CHANGE the world!
I hope you know you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
