I Will!

Those two words, “I will”, boldly declare power, determination and vigor. Those two words describe strength and decision.

“I will” shouts victory loud enough to drown out the cries of difficulty. “I will” overpowers discouragement with accomplishment.

“I will” is mastery over adversity. “I will” conquers complications, annihilates dilemmas, and sweeps away obstacles. Those two words, “I will” resonate power.

And the opposite are the two words, “I cannot.” Those two words timidly speak of lack, indecision, and weakness. “I cannot” only sees difficulty and can never see victory.

“I cannot” is discouragement with no possible accomplishment. “I cannot” is mastery over nothing but failure. “I cannot” is drowning in dilemmas and obstacles and sees no way out.

Do not confuse, “I will”, with, “I can”. They are not the same. You can be the greatest carpenter that ever lived and have the finest tools. But you will never build anything, until you say, “I will build.” “I will”, or, “I cannot” – they each determine the path you have chosen to travel.

But what about, “I’ll try?” Oh that’s just “I cannot” in disguise. Even the phrase, “I’m going to try really hard.” It stills lacks a decisive commitment to success and victory.

Suppose you’ve always wanted to run in a marathon. You can say, “I’m really going to try to get into shape and be ready for the upcoming marathon.” That phrase may sound nice and noble, but it leaves the door wide open to quit and give up, doesn’t it?

On the other hand, when you state emphatically, “I will get into shape and I will run in the upcoming marathon”, you have clearly stated your intentions and there are no options. See the difference?

God never made a failure, so don’t accept failure by saying, “I cannot.” With God’s help you don’t need to try. Decide and determine that you will, and He will help you. He will guide you. He will direct your paths. Decide that you will and He will be there with you every step of the way.

Choose to have a great day!
