Take the Limits Off
now is the time to raise the next generation
of children of color
as now is the time for them rise and receive
like all others
in this time in history they're more likely
to accomplish their dreams
where in the past there wasn't much
that they could achieve
a Black president, a Black female VP
and now a Black woman on the court most Supreme
people of color have surpassed insurmountable limits
never before seen
now is the time to take off the limits
when it comes to worshipping Christ
to pass insurmountable plateaus
as we walk this Christian life
to step out of boxes
that society has placed us in
to step out of boundaries
that limit us from within
when I think of that woman at the well
and how by many she was rejected
yet even knowing her life's story
by Jesus she was selected
her life was a lesson in turmoil
but not of her control
yet Jesus saw a light in her
in regards to her faith and her soul
society wants to place on us
boundaries and limitations
systemic ideologies producing
certain expectations
of which many have nothing to do
when it comes to worshipping God
as God only sees the limitlessness
that resides within our hearts
now take the limits off
and worship perpetually
remove societal boundaries
that exist externally
now focus on Father God
and not on the place
it matters not where you worship
but that you worship with God's grace
now focus on the intimacy
of your relationship with God
by allowing His Holy Spirit to permeate
the depths of your heart
now worship God in truth by studying
and knowing His Holy Scriptures
thus allowing the knowledge expand in you
til you get the full gospel picture
now take off the limits
and worship God in perpetuity
unceasingly in spirit and truth
for all the world to see
