What does it mean "I Can Do All Things..." ?

5/1/2020

As I passed through the day just days ago, a symbol came to mind of who I am in relationship in my daily walk with the One who made me be and set me free.
When we read the verse 13 in the book of Philippians chapter 4, what does it mean "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength"?
So I decided to write a poem about the personal explanation it holds for me in my life and daily walk. I hope that the meaning brings life into your own walk. Fear not.

I am the sail - He is the wind, and He holds the lines to guide.
If His wind is still, I do not go. If His wind is strong, I move along.
As His lines guide left, my bow is turned, If they stay taunt I stay the course.
He is the captain in still or storm. I am the sail in skillful hands.
As I do my part, as I am the sail, all things to be accomplished will be done.
Through this, I can do all things through Him.

Not growing up in a Christian home, I learned according to the ways of the world and was not discouraged from seeking after all the world had to offer. With an outgoing personality and a badly damaged heart I went about seeking meaning in the world, something that went more than skin deep, something that would last.
I sought it in any angle, some that the world would consider positive, some the world would consider negative, and a variety in between. But in the end, it was all striving after the wind. I remained empty after each newness faded. I gave up thinking that there was anything that could fulfill and I died inside. I muddled through life with a smile on my face and a bounce in my step, while inside I was far removed from such a vibrant state. I figured I just needed to 'get through' and make whatever difference I could along the way, for it seemed not to matter anyway.
THEN...
On an unexpected day when I was 26 years old, I met Christ.
A person living true to the calling God gave to him spoke simply about the state of my life with specific examples as if he knew all about me - I had never met this person before. It broke me and all I could do was cry. The words he spoke were by the direct leading of the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of God, that can only be known through the door that is Christ Jesus.
That day this man served as a Human Interface to me knowing Christ, and in such, to my freedom.
I came out of the death that I walked in and was made new.

I now live to be that Human Interface of FREEDOM to others by the leading of the Holy Spirit, seeking to live by the word of God, not compromising to the ways of the world. I've tried the world, and in it is nothing that fulfills. I've tried the Lord that is the Almighty God, and in Him is fullness of life and peace that surpasses all understanding.

I am FREEDOM HI, you can be too.
