Missed Opportunity

I let an opportunity pass me by the other day
I let fear take root and ultimately get in the way
Forgetting that the Creator has already made me ready
Preparing me for days like these so I’ll be calm and steady
But when the time came to confirm him at his word
I lost out on an opportunity for my voice to be heard
Failing to remind myself that he gave me this gift
That it’s not about me but the Souls he wants me to lift
He once told me that it’s not about who or what I am
But to represent for him because he is the Lamb
He wanted me to look past all my own faults
And listen carefully to the words that he’s taught
Be mindful that he chose me because I seek after his heart
And seeing myself as he does is a good place to start
