Analysis of I am not God



I made a promise to myself that
I would Love you with all that I had
That I would give my all without hesitation
I would do it all without any reciprocity needed
But every now and then I must remember that
I cannot move mountain on my own strength
I am not responsible for your healing
and you have to want it for yourself
I need to remember that even though my intentions are good,
I cannot bring conviction and restoration
I am NOT God
