I think there’s probably more for you.

I think that the God who dreamed up
Tides and mountains and the solar system
Hasn’t used up all of His creativity.

I think your mistakes are forgiven.
I think your story matters.
I think your past is important
But I think there’s probably more for you.

I think there’s a real danger in staring at your feet.
I think there’s an unparalleled disaster
In constantly checking over your shoulder.
I think the subtle side-to-side check is problematic too.

I think you’re different for a purpose.
I think you don’t have the same gifts
As that person or this person for a reason.
I think God is directing you towards a mirror
Instead of a telescope.
I think you’re fully equipped
To be who you were created to be.

And for that reason alone,
I think there’s probably more for you.

I think that creation is vast and limitless and unfathomable.
And I think you exist within that,
As a part of it.

I think you’d be surprised with what comes next.
I think your stomach would turn with what’s possible.
I think that certain disappointment holds less power than you give it.
I think that single frustration can be a source of fuel.
I think being dissatisfied can breed either passive resentment
Or an active pursuit for better.

I think there is probably more for you.

You may not hear this.
It’s hard to believe something
That doesn’t feel true in the moment.
That’s okay.
It doesn’t make it less true.

I think there is probably more for you.
