Strong Enough

What compelled me to write this...I don't know. Some strong urge to express my literary side, I suppose ;)

Strong Enough - Kind Of A Poem
cowgirl4christ

Sometimes, when life is tough, it feels good to just run.
You don't feel the pain, not right then. You're too caught up in the feeling of the wind ripping across your face, and your heart beating too hard in your chest.
And the whole time you're running, you're telling yourself, "I am strong enough."
But in your soul you know you're only running
Because you know that you are not.

And when you reach the end of that road, emotionally and physically exhausted
You fall
You collapse in a broken heap of vain attempts at freedom
And as you lie there in the dust, trembling, you know you've been beaten
And you whisper, defeated,
"Just take me."

And He does.
He takes you in His arms and holds you tight.
And for a moment, His strength becomes yours.

So you open your eyes.
You rise to your feet.
You dust yourself off.
You take that first step.

And you stand.
Because you are
Strong Enough.
