The word *power* tends to stir a sense of fear in my heart. It’s not a word I am very comfortable with especially when it concerns me…In the sense that, I’d rather not meddle with *power*.
Power gives one the ability to make decisions for others. It strengthens you to go where no one else dares to go. Power can drive you further than you are supposed to go. It can draw you into unexpected and unwarranted circumstances. Power can bring out the worst in you. It can make the most humble of beings loose perspective. Power can make you tough. It can make you blind to the obvious.
I was lost in such mid morning musings today. I realized that power is dangerous especially when it is given to you when you are not prepared to handle it. But I also realized something else. Power has another side to it - Potential.
The potential to make things better. To change things in a positive way. To make reality possibilities that could only be hoped and dreamed of by some others.
Power is a responsibility that often is entrusted to individuals after much debate. Some squander it, some misuse it, some do nothing with it and still others use it sparingly.
I’ve always wondered if power is something I desire in life. And I often wonder what I would do with it if it was mine.
I leave you with the same questions.
Dear Mister God, this is @ina talking . . . Grant me enough power to match my purposes for each day. Not too much nor too less.
