How Good It Can Get
“I’m open. God, show me how good it can get.”
--
God, show me how good it can get if
I put my trust in you instead of in my plans.
Show me how good it can get if
I worry less — much less.
Show me how good it can get if
I don’t try to change anyone or judge their life.
Show me how good it can get if
I spend more time thankful for what I have
and less time worrying it won’t last.
Show me how good it can get if
I harbor no jealousy.
Show me how good it can get if
I love myself unconditionally.
Show me how good it can get if
I stop trying to impress.
Show me how good it can get when
I slow down and rest.
Show me how good it can get
Rain or shine — summer, winter, spring, or fall.
Show me how good it can get when
Good — not best, not perfect, not more,
not all — but good is what I’m living for.
Show me how good it already is.
