A Great Poem I Found

I found this poem a couple of weeks ago and wanted to post, the actual author is unknown.

I want you to face the mountain
so that you can see,
when the mountain is out of the way
all there is left is Me.
Only I can move the mountain,
only I can push it away,
only I can conquer the problems
that you face today.
Your only job is to believe, to listen
to My voice,
and when you hear what I command,
obedience is your choice.
But I will not make it too difficult for the victory
is already Mine,
and I will fill you with My Spirit and through
you My grace will shine.
Not when you are perfect,
like you think you need to be,
but when your heart is willing to become more
and more like Me.
(New Day, New You, Meyer 2007)

Now its been so long since I've had to make a book reference I've probably done it wrong, but this was from my daily devotional. I thought the poem made so much sense, simple, but sincere. I mean, we're never going to be perfect, we can try all we want, but its never going to happen, because of what's happened already. I just thought this was great, because that's what I want for my life, is to have a heart like Jesus. And its a reminder that as long as I follow that path, the Lord will take care of the rest.
