If It's Going to Be, It's Up to Me

If it's going to be, it is up to me
This is the prevailing wisdom of society
A preoccupation with I, myself, and me
How I can develop my potential and ability
This is great and good undoubtedly
Yet it only seems to work partially
As I harness my emotions
Acknowledge my desires
Heed my inner instincts
Listen to my personal premonitions
Hearken to continual inclinations
Seize and arrest all distractions
Purpose to progress in all relations
Since my friends determine my future
Wrong associations can close the door
Of this experientially I am most sure
Nevertheless I must assuredly endure
Press through problems that allure
Drag me down and make me unsure
Of the future and what God has in store.

Arise and make something happen!
Put feet to your faith and move in might
Exercise mental muscle to master the moment
Put your heart, soul, and back into it
Take initiative, work, don't be passive!
All of this positive self-talk is persuasive
Yet it's far more than hurrying and hustling
Affirming the desires, depths, and dreams inside
Conquering circumstances and with doubt collide
Utilize your gifts, talents, resources, and ability
Arise aggressively to create limitless possibility.
Choose to believe wholeheartedly and do daringly
To keep your strong sense of self-certainty
In your competence have faith forcefully
Be confident spontaneously and naturally
Whenever you struggle sometimes inwardly
When promises delay obtaining prosperity
Beyond a fantasy seek dream fulfillment
When hard times come decide not to quit
Beyond a prophesy, choose to live purposefully
When disillusion hits, you push through boldly
When irritants discourage, yourself encourage
We need prayerful support, but not an entourage
Even when I feel alone and is if I'm a minority
I know truthfully that with God I am a majority
My Creator daily helps and resurrects hope within me
Uplifts, sustains, nurtures, and surprisingly blesses me
My beloved Father in heaven does tenderly endear me
Delight in, gently discipline, and deeply draws me
Hence I feel the touch divine from the holy Spirit
I speak the truth in Christ and do not lie
I myself also agonize, grieve, and at times cry
God's wisdom and revelation - do not fear it
Though you may not always understand it
It's a Spirit thing. Don't try mentally to explain it
Though in a moment of rebellion you can't stand it
Nevertheless truth proves faithful when you need it
God is a very present help in a time of trouble
When you're in need, don't be in mind double
Double-mindedness and indecision dwarfs you
Dulls, paralyzes, and diminishes what you can do
Christ however works supernaturally through
Whosoever will welcome and allow Him to

Humbly recognize that when man's ability ends
God above when embraced, His ability begins
Christ in you is the magnificent hope of glory
He mightily blesses and enriches you abundantly
Exceedingly above and beyond your wildest dreams
Providing you vision that surpasses what seems
To be your designated place, position, and status
Spiritual liberty will always dynamically free us
Thrust and force us ahead beyond our own head
Our mental faculties and limited, level headed logic
Supernatural suddenlies remove looks sober and stoic
As God above partners with you on earth here below
As He unwraps Himself and begins to mysteriously show
When He shows off to you, all those around will know
That from heaven He has come down
To bless, transform, and abound
In love, wisdom, and power
God shows up any day or hour
What is primarily needed and up to you
Is a willing and welcoming heart
That woos, invites, and draws God to
Joyfully visit, inhabit, abide, and happily reside
Cooperate and facilitate with your desires inside
Therefore repeatedly it is up to me
Though not solely, nor entirely
Because as I befriend my Creator
He will co-create my world with me
Direct and lead me into my destiny
Together we shall triumph wonderfully
With God I can proceed fearlessly
I vow and commit when God gives me the victory
To humbly and consistently give Him the glory
Partner for peak performance outstandingly
With your Maker you too can live marvelously
As you develop a divine relationship and sensitivity.
