IF I COULD I WOULD!

 

 

If I Could I Would!

It is very strange how we humans sometimes view and look at life, as if it was inaccessible and far beyond the blue!

We always get it wrong and label it as just another one sad day in our lives. Another pie in the sky!

Whatever doesn’t affect us directly in a beneficiary way, often gets discarded into our river of forgetfulness right away.

If I could I would. There has to be some magical connection between these two verbs before one could eventually cast themselves over and careen. If I could I would!

Some people believe it’s just a matter of taking a leap of faith into the unknown destinations. What the hell happened to risk forecasting?

If I could I would, but alas; these wishful shoes make me bounce directionless all over the rough planes of hard times.

I float in the skies of dreams like a hydrogen filled balloon. If I could I would.

I’d prick this balloon of frustration and free myself from all these things which weigh me down. If I could I would!

I’d set fire to this sunken shipwreck of mine and swim all the way up to the shore.

Hard times feel like shackles around my exhausted ankles.

Life is a drag and a stalemate when the fresh breeze isn’t blowing at your direction.

I am barely breathing because my heart is beating. If I could I would.

I’d just pull out the plug of my lungs, breathe my last and give my world back to God!

Hello, I’m only human just like everybody else on the Planet.

Tough times do not last, tough people do. If most individuals facing hard times could, they would stick their heads out of the thickest quagmire for survival! If I could I would.

Been treading barefoot in hot desert throughout all sand storms for almost a decade now.

It’s hard for me to lay down and die after seeing my horizon approaching and the end of my rainbow.

If old Job could, he would have! Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, there is a man child conceived.

Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. If I could I would.

It’s hard for me to believe anyone could hide from God by covering themselves with darkness.

If David could, he would have! Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy Presence?

If I ascend up into Heaven, Thou art there: if I make my bed in Hell, behold, Thou art there. If I could I would.

I continue to hold fast onto the wise words of King Solomon.

In the Day of Prosperity be Joyful, but in the Day of Adversity Consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

Every night the stars above my head: remind me of the Goodness of the LORD I have tasted and seen. If I could I would.

Like David, I will dwell in the House of the Lord for the rest of my days. If I could I would.

Now I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me through His Word. I am because God is! If I could I would.

Like that poor woman who suffered for twelve long years with an issue of blood.

She heard about Jesus. Pushed and crawled on her knees risking being stampeded to death.

Only if I could touch His garment, I would be healed.

The healing virtue came out and the bleeding stopped immediately!

Who touched me?

Like a worm, poor woman wriggled and trembled, came out. I did Lord!

Sometimes it takes only a single answer for God to change your situation!

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick, but when the desire cometh it is a tree of life!

If I could I would. I remain standing because I can!
