allthingsmustpass: “For a heart that does not ache, for a backbone that won’t break, for some steady feet or study ground. To wear wisdom like Solomon’s robe, for the patience and perspective of a man like Job. Just to soar on wings like eagles for no other reason than the bird’s eyes view. And the list gets longer, who I wish I was, and was no longer. To breathe prayers that move the heavens or save hundreds from the flames. To know my place, to know my name, but the gap grows wider between who I am and all I aspire to be. I never could be good enough to measure up, but You want to take me as I come. You’re the only one that can take me as I am. At the end of myself, at the end of the day, I can find little else but the courage to say, I need You. That’s all, I need You.”
