If We Dare

If I dare to dream,

If I dare to believe,

If I dare to breathe,

What wonder might I see?

What destiny awaits for me?

If I dare to breathe,

If I dare to dream,

If I dare to believe,

Will I finally find my victory?

Years spent in the trenches,

Years wandering aimlessly,

The arrows of doubt wielded too much power,

Lies of shame inflicting endless pain.

If I dare to dream,

If I dare to breathe,

If I dare to see myself—truly see—

Will that release me from captivity?

I challenge myself to believe in the reflection of His design—

To simply love who He created me to be.

Imperfectly perfect,

Beautiful chaos,

In all its splendor.

Audacious.

Humble.

Courageous.

Doubtless.

Shameless.

Kind.

Loud.

Authentic.

Loving.

Relentless.

Selfless.

Free to dance in joy and grace,

Full of love and soaring with purpose,

Forgiving in the moment—living.

Daring to dream,

Daring to breathe,

Daring to stay true to who I am,

Dying to self, so He can be more—

So I can soar higher and higher,

To heights beyond my understanding—

For I am royalty, born anew.

Lower and lower my pride descends,

Lower and lower I release it all—

Casting it at His feet,

Bowing in humility—

Complete in His presence.

Humbly, I am nothing without my King.

Humbly, my heart sings.

Humbly, I lay down all crowns—

Clothed in His righteousness, I stand.

Joyfully, I rest my head upon His chest,

He whispers new words—

Songs yet to be sung in the days to come.

We breathe in unison,

His breath filling my lungs with life.

I choose to breathe.

I choose to dream.

I choose to believe.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

I will accept only the best—

No longer allowing shadows

or false promises to steal my peace.

I refuse to yield to the hellish pressure of performance.

I refuse to live for those who cannot see.

I refuse to seek approval from the blind.

I refuse to chase after the impatient and unkind—

Those who do not understand

that a person's heart takes time to heal and unfold.

From this day forward,

I vow to stay true to my eternal Lover—The Glory King.

I promise to be patient with myself,

as I learn to simply be.

To speak kind words to myself,

And as my destiny unfolds,

To move slowly,

allowing His living truth to take root within.

There is beauty in transformation.

Every step I take, every breath I draw,

Is a testament to the grace that surrounds me.

I am learning to embrace the process,

To cherish the moments of stillness,

Where I can hear His gentle whispers.

As I navigate through life's challenges,

I discover the strength that lies within.

It is a quiet strength,

A resilience born from faith and love.

I am reminded that healing is not linear;

It ebbs and flows like the tide.

With each passing day,

I find freedom in my faith.

It is a freedom that liberates my spirit,

Allowing me to rise above the noise.

I am learning to trust the journey,

To surrender my fears and doubts.

In the stillness, I find clarity.

In the chaos, I find peace.

I have learned to dance in the rain,

To celebrate the storms that shape me.

For every trial is a stepping stone,

A masterpiece, intricately designed,

A reflection of His love and grace.

As I cultivate this awareness,

I am filled with a sense of purpose.

I am learning to shine my light,

To share my story with others.

For in our stories, we find connection,

A reminder that we are not alone.

Together, we can lift each other up,

Encouraging one another on this journey.

As I look to the future,

I am filled with hope and anticipation.

I know that the path ahead may not always be easy,

But I am ready to embrace the adventure.

I will walk with courage,

Guided by the light of His love.

I will celebrate the small victories,

And honor the lessons learned along the way.

In this journey, I am discovering the beauty of being.

I am learning to trust His process,

To embrace the unfolding of my story.

For I am a beloved child of the King,

This journey is just beginning.

Let us dare to dream,

Dare to breathe,

And dare to believe in the beauty of our own stories.

Together, we can find freedom,

And inspire one another to soar.
