Not Yet

I’m standing next to a gold mine
Profoundly deep, abundantly rich
Full of everything I’d like
The things I want
The person I hope to be

And yet… I’m just standing here
FROZEN
Not digging, not mining, just standing

What’s holding me back?
Am I overwhelmed? Tired? Distracted?

It’s right there
I could reach out and touch it
Like I’ve touched parts of it before

But I haven’t dug into it
I haven’t gone deep, exploring, discovering
What am I waiting for? Infinity’s available!

Thank you for your patience with me, Lord
Please help me to dive in
