nothing & everything...

nothing...

i am nothing without god...

i fail.
i fall.
i fumble the ball.

the past is a weight.
the present, a drag.
the future, murky.

but with him, i come to life!
i come alive!
i am alive!

the past is forgiven, forgotten, powerless.
the present, beautiful, doable, powerful.
the future, hope-filled, worry-free, in his hands.

i move.
i walk tall.
i carry the ball.

everything.

i am everything i need to be.
in him.
through him.
by him.
