Out of the Box

Sometimes it’s easier here in this box
It’s cozy and comfortable
And I can see my boundaries

But other times it’s stifling
It’s confining and dark
And I can hardly breathe

There is another choice
I can choose; each day, I can choose
Life and breath or death and complacency

I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.” — Deuteronomy 30:19-20 (NKJV)
