Know Thyself

It is knowing who I am

that makes the difference.

Know thyself!

If I do not know who I am

If I do not know myself,

I am powerless

under my own power.

If I do not know me,

How could I possibly begin

to know others?

If I do not know myself

I don’t know

what I am capable of

or incapable of.

Do I know myself?

Is what I know of myself

Something I made up about me?

Am I a star in a movie about my life?

A movie in which I am

the producer,

the director,

and every actor requisite

to fulfill every  role necessary

to perpetuate my drama?

Do I not know that:

I am a son of God,

who is the Creator,

against whom America is in rebellion?

That I am a brother

to a murdered king,

who was afterward resurrected?

and lives even today?

That I too am a king,

Called into the capacity

Together with this King

Who is the King of kings?

That I have at my disposal

complete access

to the power of Heaven

and its Hosts

to accomplish anything

in the name of the King.

Stop.

Wrap your mind around this.

Be in this moment

And grasp the significance

Of what you have just read.

Ask yourself

Does it fit?

If it fits,

Acknowledge that

without this knowledge

about yourself,

you are weak

and impotent;

But with it,

by embracing it,

you are powerful

beyond imagination.

This is who America

needs to stand for,

and with,

in the coming days.

How will she recognize them?

Primarily among other things,

by their love,

one for another.
