I am not...

From Tim Blundell Jones @ Kairos
I am not too cool to join in,
I am not too clean to get dirty,
I am not too fashionable to dress down,
I am not too pious to dress up,

I am not too tired to get going,
I am not too busy to stop.
I am not too qualified for this job,
I am not too immature to talk to this manager,

I am not too quiet to share my thoughts,
I am not too loud to shut up,
I am not too poor to buy my friend some food,
I am not too sufficient to receive,

I am not too otherwise absorbed to think,
I am not too selfless to be selfish,
I am not too much one way or the other,
I am not too comfortable to change.

I am not going to use another's measure,
I am not going to subscribe to thinking I've made it,

I am who I am, but I am becoming more like Yahweh, the I AM
So I will follow His way, the spirit who blows where it chooses.
You can hear it, like the wind, but you won't know where it comes from or where it is going.
That is how I propose I am becoming like.
