What Is Living

What is living?
It is when you can do whatever
Say whatever and are not afraid of consequences
If you are afraid you are not living
Why is the world not living?
Because we are bound by fear
By the unknowns
Why do we have that fear?
Who placed it in us?
We'd never know
But one thing is certain
We are not free until we are free from that
Is it called our limitation?
No
Is it our impediment?
Who impedes you?
Is it called...?
You can sit here all night and think what it is called
But what you need to do is live
And you can't live until He wants you to live
So what is the deal?
You can't do anything until He wants you to do
Isn't that the irony of it all?
I am so far out
That I don't know what to say about it
Except - take heart
It will come with time
God will do what He wants to do 
But you always reap the benefits of it
He will do in you and you and whoever down the road
But He never stops doing
And you never stop asking
Or do you?
You will know
One day
